Requirements

Eyelash is distributed as a ZIP file.
You'll need to be able to unpack and upload to whole distribution to a writeable directory of a PHP / GD2 enabled web server : that doesn't involve much, but you need to check the PHP / GD2 requirement on your server.

TIP : GD is a graphic library for PHP, enabled on most web host platform. If you're interested in details, you can find out more about GD on php.net. Eyelash uses GD to generate thumbnails and rezise the uploaded pictures

Installation : Unzip and run

Installations instructions on a local development machine (apache / PHP installed), e.g. localhost

• choose your application folder : e.g. eyelash
  
• unzip eyelash.zip
• try index.php and check the galleries work fine (http://localhost/eyelash)
  
• try to add images in a gallery and reload
• log in to the admin (http://localhost/eyelash/admin) with user eye and password lash

Common issues

• If Eyelash doesn't work, use the core of the process to guide you through a potentiel issue :
  Go to your http installation of eyelash and use your browser to run the page : eyelash_xml_render.php. It should produce an XML file. If not, here are common issues :
• Permission denied : the eyelash_images folder doesn't have the right permissions : PHP cannot create the thumbnails and the description files. Solution  : use your FTP client to change permissions (755 or 777 depending on the server) of the eyelash_images folder and its subfolders (big, small, text).
