Mapserver is available in different flavors for different platforms

OSGEO
MapTools
FGS
maptools.org provides a stand-alone environment that includes Apache http server, MapServer, and PHP MapScript.
Compilation instructions are available for Unix/Linux and Windows, with additional Build Notes for RedHat. Refractions Research Inc also maintains a set of Linux RPMs. If you are on the Windows platform, compilation can be quite challenging, for your first application, it is recommended that you utilize pre-compiled Windows binaries.
Once MapServer is installed, there are two ways that you can test it. First, at the command line, type 'mapserv -v', you should see a message describing your MapServer install, something like:
MapServer version 4.8.0-beta2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG
OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG
You can also send a HTTP request directly to the MapServer CGI program without passing any configuration variables (e.g. http://your.domain.name/cgi-bin/ms4/mapserv.exe). If you receive the message, 'No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING not set.', your installation is working.
