Gallery CSS is a lightweight and customizable CSS gallery library that allows you to create beautiful and responsive image galleries on your website. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Gallery CSS on Void Linux.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install Node.js and npm on your system. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that allows you to run JavaScript code outside of a web browser. npm is the package manager for Node.js.
You can install Node.js and npm by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S nodejs
Once you have installed Node.js and npm, you can install Gallery CSS using npm.
To install Gallery CSS globally, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g gallery-css
If you prefer to install Gallery CSS locally, navigate to your desired directory and run:
npm install gallery-css
Now that you have installed Gallery CSS, you can create a sample gallery to test it.
Create a new file called index.html in your website's root directory and paste 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">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/300x200" alt="Placeholder Image">
</div>
<div class="gallery-item">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/300x200" alt="Placeholder Image">
</div>
<div class="gallery-item">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/300x200" alt="Placeholder Image">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This code creates a basic HTML page with a Gallery CSS gallery. Note that the link element's href value points to the location of the gallery.css file.
Save the file, start your web server, and navigate to http://localhost:yourport/index.html to view your gallery.
You can customize your Gallery CSS gallery by modifying the CSS classes used in gallery.css.
For example, to change the background color of the gallery, modify the following code in gallery.css:
.gallery {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
margin: -10px;
background-color: #fff;
}
Change background-color: #fff; to your desired color value.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Gallery CSS on Void Linux and create a basic gallery using the library. You also learned how to customize your gallery by modifying the CSS classes provided by Gallery CSS. With this knowledge, you can create beautiful and responsive image galleries on your website.
