Setup

MS4W and QGIS software must be installed on the participant's computer in order to begin this tutorial. The following is a brief installation guide.

Installing MS4W

Map Server for Windows (MS4W) is a base package for installing Map Server on Microsoft Windows platforms. The package was used in this tutorial because if provides a preconfigured package with all of the bits and pieces needed to run Map Server on a local Windows machine, such as Apache. The installation process is intuitive for novice users; visit the MapServer website for further tutorials and documentation.

Installing QGIS

The latest standalone version of QGIS for Windows is sufficient for this tutorial. If the computer you are using does not have QGIS installed, please download QGIS for Windows and direct the installation into your program files.
