Creating an Image gallery

Prerequisites

To use Imgal you need Python and the Pillow package installed. Learn how to do that here.

Organizing your files before creating the gallery

First of all, download the .zip file with the templates and Imgal here.

Extract the Imgal zip file.

In a folder, place the imagal.py file and the templates folder found in the zip file.

Warning

Do not move the templates folder or rename or modify the files in any way as this will break Imgal.

In the same folder, create another folder, and place your images in it.

Creating the image gallery

In your Terminal or Powershell, go to the directory where the imgal.py file is.

Then run the command :

python imgal.py

Now follow the instructions of the program. When it's done, you will find the website structure in the folder where the images were stored. You can then delete the templates folder and imgal.py.

You can now upload the gallery to your web server.
