Include CSS and JavaScript files

First of all add lightgallery.css in the <head> of the document.

<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightgallery.css">

Then include lightgallery.min.js into your document. If you want to include any lightgallery plugin you can include it after lightgallery.min.js.

    ...

</body>

Lightgallery also supports AMD, CommonJS and ES6 modules. When you use AMD make sure that lightgallery.js is loaded before lightgallery modules.

require(['./lightgallery.js'], function() {
    require(["./lg-zoom.js", "./lg-thumbnail.js"], function(){
        lightGallery(document.getElementById('lightgallery'));
    });
});

The markup

lightgallery does not force you to use any kind of markup. You can use whatever markup you want. But i suggest you to use the following markup. Here you can find the detailed examples of different kinds of markup.

<div id="lightgallery">
    <a href="img/img1.jpg">
        <img src="img/thumb1.jpg">
    </a>
    <a href="img/img2.jpg">
