How to Install Gallery CSS on Alpine Linux Latest

Gallery CSS is a simple and lightweight CSS image gallery that can be used to display a collection of images on a website. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Gallery CSS on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following:

Step 1: Install NPM

Gallery CSS is built using NPM, so we need to install it first. Run the following command to update the package repository and install NPM:

apk update
apk add nodejs npm

Step 2: Create a new directory

Create a new directory for your project:

mkdir my-gallery && cd my-gallery

Step 3: Install Gallery CSS

Run the following command to install Gallery CSS:

npm install gallery-css

This will download and install Gallery CSS and its dependencies.

Step 4: Create your gallery

Create a new HTML file for your gallery and add the following code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My Gallery</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/gallery-css/dist/gallery.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="gallery">
        <div class="gallery-item"></div>
        <div class="gallery-item"></div>
        <div class="gallery-item"></div>
        <!-- Add more items here -->
    </div>
</body>
</html>

This code sets up a basic HTML structure for your gallery and includes the Gallery CSS stylesheet.

Step 5: Add images to your gallery

Add images to your gallery by adding the following code inside each .gallery-item element:

<div class="gallery-item" style="background-image: url('path/to/image.jpg');"></div>

Replace path/to/image.jpg with the path to your image file.

Step 6: Test your gallery

Save your HTML file and open it in a web browser. You should see your gallery with your images displayed in it.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and created your own gallery using Gallery CSS on Alpine Linux Latest.
