Installation

Install the CLI by opening a command prompt or terminal window and executing the following command:

npm install -g geocoder-cli

Configuration

Login to the Google Cloud console, enable the Maps API, then create a Maps API Key.

Once you have the Google Maps API key, create a local environment variable on your system called GEOCODER_API_KEY and set its value to the API key.

Usage

To determine the latitude and longitude values for a mailing address, open a terminal window or command prompt and execute the following command:

geocoder "<mailing_address>" 

substituting an actual mailing address for the <mailing_address> shown in the example.

For example:

geocoder "1 South Main Street, Akron, OH 44308" 

The cli will display the following results in the terminal window:
