Gallery CSS is a lightweight and customizable CSS gallery that allows you to build beautiful and interactive image galleries for your website. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Gallery CSS on your macOS system.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your macOS system:
Open the Terminal app on your macOS system.
Install Gallery CSS by running the following command in the Terminal:
npm install -g gallery-css
This command will download and install the latest version of Gallery CSS globally on your system.
gallery-css --version
This command will display the version number of Gallery CSS that is currently installed on your system.
mkdir my-gallery
This command will create a new directory called "my-gallery" in your current directory.
cd my-gallery
This command will change the current directory to "my-gallery".
touch index.html
This command will create a new empty file called "index.html".
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Gallery</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://unpkg.com/gallery-css@1.0.2/dist/gallery.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="gallery">
<div class="gallery-item">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/id/237/200/300" alt="Gallery Item 1" />
</div>
<div class="gallery-item">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/id/238/200/300" alt="Gallery Item 2" />
</div>
<div class="gallery-item">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/id/239/200/300" alt="Gallery Item 3" />
</div>
<div class="gallery-item">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/id/240/200/300" alt="Gallery Item 4" />
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This code creates a basic Gallery CSS gallery with four items.
Save the "index.html" file.
Open the Terminal and navigate to the "my-gallery" directory (if you are not already there).
Start a local web server by running the following command:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
This command will start a web server on port 8000.
http://localhost:8000/
This will load the "index.html" file in your web browser and display the Gallery CSS gallery.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Gallery CSS on your macOS system and created a basic gallery. You can now customize the gallery by modifying the HTML and CSS code in the "index.html" file.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
