If you have not changed the default settings, simply rename the data file to 51Degrees.dat and place it in to 'Core' directory. Alternatively, you can locate the $_fiftyone_degrees_data_file_path configuration parameter in 51Degrees.php file and set path to your data file. More info.

For provided programs that are part of our C distribution you can supply Premium or Enterprise data file through command line, just like you would with a Lite data file. For all other uses please see the documentation.
Python
You will need to alter the config file in one of the following ways. For Pattern: provide path to the data file by editing the following setting V3_WRAPPER_DATABASE. For Trie edit the V3_TRIE_WRAPPER_DATABASE setting.
