# mapserver 8.4.0 and mapscript build for independ project install (pip)
# assuming mapserver, mapscript, gdal, proj dependies installed
# using pyenv for virtual env and python 3.13.1 install using pyenv
# This gist is copy paste from a README.md so never tested as full sequence bash 

# Get mapserver code and set the pyenv python version to be used by mapserver (globally)
