Sigal is a simple yet powerful static gallery generator tool that helps you create beautiful image galleries with ease. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to install Sigal on Debian Latest.
Sigal is a Python-based tool, which means you'll need to have Python installed on your system in order to run it. To install Python on Debian Latest, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3
Once you've got Python installed, you can install Sigal using pip, the Python package manager. To install Sigal, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pip3 install sigal
This will download and install Sigal on your system.
Now that you've got Sigal installed, you can start creating your first image gallery. To create a new gallery, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to create the gallery. Once you're in the desired directory, run the following command:
sigal init
This will create a new directory called sigal in your current directory, which contains a few starter files for your gallery.
Next, you'll need to add some images to your gallery. To do this, simply copy your images into the sigal/_static directory. You can also create subdirectories if you want to organize your images into different categories.
Once you've added some images to your gallery, you can generate the actual gallery using the following command:
sigal build
This will generate a new directory called sigal/_build, which contains your finished gallery. You can view the gallery by opening the index.html file in your browser.
If you want to customize your gallery, you can do so by editing the various configuration files in the sigal directory. These files allow you to change things like the layout of your gallery, the image sizes, and much more.
Congratulations, you've successfully installed Sigal on Debian Latest and created your first image gallery! With Sigal, you can now create beautiful galleries with ease and share your photos with the world.
