How to Install Gallery CSS on Windows 10

Introduction

Gallery CSS is a simple and customizable CSS gallery which can be installed on a website. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps required to install Gallery CSS on Windows 10.

Prerequisites

Before we start, please make sure you have the following components installed on your computer:

Step by Step Guide

Step 1: Download Gallery CSS

First, you need to download Gallery CSS from https://benschwarz.github.io/gallery-css/. You can download it by:

  1. Go to the Gallery CSS website using your web browser.
  2. Click on the Download button located in the upper right-hand corner.
  3. Select the Download ZIP option from the dropdown menu.

Step 2: Extract the Downloaded File

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file to your desired location.

  1. Locate the downloaded ZIP file.
  2. Right-click on the file and select Extract All.
  3. Choose the location where you want to extract the files.

Step 3: Create Folder for Gallery CSS

After extracting the files, create a new folder where we will store the Gallery CSS files.

  1. Right-click on your desktop and select the New option.
  2. Choose the Folder option from the sub-menu.
  3. Name the new folder "Gallery CSS".

Step 4: Move the Gallery CSS Files to the New Folder

Now that we have created a new folder, we need to move the extracted files to this folder.

  1. Open the previously extracted folder.
  2. Select all the files and folders.
  3. Copy them to the newly created "Gallery CSS" folder.

Step 5: Create an HTML file to Test

Open a text editor of your choice and create a new HTML file called index.html. This file will act as a test page to see if Gallery CSS is installed and working.

  1. Open your text editor.
  2. Create a new file.
  3. Save the file as index.html in the same "Gallery CSS" folder.

Step 6: Add Gallery CSS to the HTML file

Now that we have an HTML test page, we need to add the Gallery CSS to it.

  1. Open the index.html file using your text editor.
  2. Add the following code in the <head> section:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="gallery.css">

Step 7: Add Gallery HTML Markup to the HTML file

We also need to add the Gallery HTML Markup, which can be found on the Gallery CSS website.

  1. Go to Gallery CSS website and click on the Markup link.
  2. Copy the HTML code displayed on the website.

Add the HTML markup to the body of the HTML file like this:

<body>
    <!-- Paste the HTML markup from Gallery CSS website here -->
</body>

Alternatively, you can also download the HTML file that contains the Gallery HTML markup from the Gallery CSS website.

Step 8: Test the HTML file

Save the index.html file and open it in your web browser.

  1. Locate the saved file in Windows File Explorer.
  2. Right-click on the file and select Open With and choose your preferred web browser.

The Gallery CSS should now be installed and working.

Conclusion

We have completed the installation of Gallery CSS on Windows 10. You can now use Gallery CSS to create beautiful CSS galleries on your website.
