Automating ip2location updates

I’m working on automating updates for the ip2location database tables. Barry created the beginnings of a script in [dotorg13140], but it uses mysqlimport, which doesn’t appear to exist on our sandboxes.

Would it be possible to get mysql or mysqlimport installed, or is there another approach that Systems would prefer?

If it’s possible, I’d like to get the script done before WP 4.8 is released on the 8th, since the data in those tables is important for a new feature being launched.
