Install Gallery 3

Gallery needs a place to stick your photos, so do this:

cd gallery3

mkdir var
chmod 777 var

Then point your web browser at the gallery3 directory you just downloaded. You'll see a page which looks like this.The only thing you should need to enter here is the user name and password for your MySQL database.

If you don't know what's going on at this point, try clicking continue.

Using Gallery 3

After the install, you should be logged in as the admin user. Here are some things to try to get you started:

• Under the Options menu try Add an album
• Under the Options menu try Add a photo and add a few photos
• Under the Admin menu try Dashboard or Modules to add new features
• Install the "Gallery 2 Import" module, configure it under Admin > Settings > Gallery 2 Import and then try importing your Gallery 2! (this won't damage your existing Gallery 2 install at all)
• Use Options > Organize Album to rearrange photos in your album!
