Geo2tz is a command-line tool that allows you to map geographical coordinates to timezone information. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Geo2tz on MXLinux using the terminal.
To install Geo2tz, you need the following prerequisites:
Before installing Geo2tz, we need to install some dependencies that are required for building the package. Open the terminal and type the following command to install the dependencies:
