First of all, include lightgallery.css in the <head> of the document. If you want include any lightGallery plugin such as thumbnails or zoom, you need to include respective css files as well.

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

    <!-- lightgallery plugins -->
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/lg-zoom.css" />
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/lg-thumbnail.css" />


    <!-- OR -->

    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightgallery-bundle.css" />
</head>

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

<body>
    ....

    <script src="js/lightgallery.umd.js"></script>

    <!-- lightgallery plugins -->
    <script src="js/plugins/lg-thumbnail.umd.js"></script>
    <script src="js/plugins/lg-zoom.umd.js"></script>
</body>

lightGallery supports AMD, CommonJS and ES6 modules too.

The markup

lightgallery does not force you to use any kind of markup. you can use whatever markup you want. Here can find detailed examples of different kinds of markups.

If you know the original size of the media, you can pass it via data-lg-size="${width}-${height}" attribute for the initial zoom animation. But, this is completely optional.

<div id="lightgallery">
    <a href="img/img1.jpg" data-lg-size="1600-2400">
        <img alt=".." src="img/thumb1.jpg" />
    </a>
    <a href="img/img2.jpg" data-lg-size="1024-800">
        <img alt=".." src="img/thumb2.jpg" />
    </a>
    ...
</div>
