Gallery1:Installation on a Unix/Linux Server with Shell Access

The paths and URLs in this guide are examples. Be sure to replace them with the paths and URLs specific to your installation.

• Change your current working directory to the directory where you want to install Gallery, and download the Gallery tarball there (downloadable from Gallery Download Page)

cd /var/www

• Untar Gallery
  

tar -xvzf gallery-1.5.tar.gz

• Change to your fresh gallery directory
  

cd gallery

• Create two blank files, .htaccess and config.php, and Chmod them 0666
  

touch .htaccess
touch config.php
chmod 0666 .htaccess config.php

• Make a blank directory for Gallery to store your albums and images in. Chmod it 0777
  

mkdir albums
chmod 0777 albums (Some filesystems, such as FAT32, do not support permissions, so you'll have to add umask=0000 to that partition's FSTAB entry and remount it).

• Install an image processing library
• Run through the Gallery1:Configuration Wizard to finish your installation!
