okay so i want to create a photo gallery for my website, cassandrafarrar.com and i've seen coppermine, a lot of sites use copper mine but i haven't seen a download link anywhere on that site or maybe i'm just blind? help?

i've also seen SimpleViewer, and the way their pictures are set up look really nice, but it doesn't work for mac. are there any photo galleries for websites that can be used for macs?

You download it here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89658
(Coppermine) on their site, at the top it says downloads, adn ti takes you ther.e

i've done that but nothing happens after i click it. but once i get that to work if i do.. what do you after you have those files?

Look through then them should be a file that gives you all the instructions on how to install , etc. Did it end up working or no?

wait, i think i see what i did wrong. i have this zip file downloading. wow i opened it and seems really confusing.

Its not that bad, customizing can be a pain sometimes, depending on what your going to do . Installing is pretty easy.

Most problems people have are already answered there so if you get an error just look there. But have you found the instructions yet?

there's an "install" file, maybe thats it? they all open in my adobe go live program but then i get this thing saying that i cant encode anything in that program if i open it there something like that

Here this tells you how to install:
