Features

• Integrates ImageMagick to resize images and create thumbnails.
• Generates clean, slim, semantically appropriate HTML5 and uses CSS 3 for styling. As a result, the output can easily be themed.
• Provides HTML access keys for keyboard navigation.
• Optimizes images to reduce size and remove metadata.

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• Jinja
• ImageMagick (tested with 6.6.9-7)
• jpegoptim (tested with 1.4.6)

Installation

It is recommended to create a virtual environment and run gallerize inside it.

To install ImageMagick, jpegoptim, and virtualenv on Debian/Ubuntu:

$ aptitude install imagemagick jpegoptim python-virtualenv

This should also give you a copy of pip.

Create a virtual environment called venv in the application path:

$ virtualenv venv

Activate it (note the space after the first dot!):

$ . venv/bin/activate

Install the dependencies of this application:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Install gallerize itself:

$ pip install -e .
