# Create database of locations 🌎 🌍 🌏
## Overview
This script will create a database in `Mongo` with locations using this [data](http://download.geonames.org/export/dump).
By default this script doesn't save all locations (also include mountains, lakes, hotels ...), just save the areas that can be considered a settlement. That info is [here](http://www.geonames.org/export/codes.html).
### Before start
Install dependencies
```
npm install
```

To run the script, run:
```
node app [options] <...>

-V, --version output the version number
-c, --countries list of ISO country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) comma separated (without spaces)

-C, --codes list of location codes. By default this script just save the areas that can be considered a settlement
