MapServer renderer for NextGIS Web

Installation

First of all, clone the repository:

$ cd package
$ git clone git@github.com:nextgis/nextgisweb_mapserver.git

Package nextgisweb_mapserver requires mapscript Python package from MapServer and it can't be installed via pip from PyPi. Thus, you must install mapscript into a virtualenv before nextgisweb_mapserver installation.

The simplest way to do this is to copy it from system-wide installation. At first, install mapscript system-wide first with a package manager. For Ubuntu you can use python3-mapscript (or python-mapscript for Python 2) package, for example:

$ apt install python3-mapscript

Then check if it's available for system Python:

$ /usr/bin/python3 -c "import mapscript; print(mapscript)"
<module 'mapscript' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mapscript/__init__.py'>

After that copy it into the virtualenv via mapscript-to-env script from this repository and then install nextgisweb_mapserver into the virtualenv:

$ nextgisweb_mapserver/mapscript-to-env ../env/bin/python /usr/bin/python3
$ pip install -e nextgisweb_mapserver/
