If you want to skip the source code and install or upgrade from the compiled binaries, download the desired one from the Releases tab. Refer to the Admin Guide for installation and upgrade instructions.
To get started from the source code, clone this repo and open TIS.GSP.sln in Visual Studio 2015 or higher. Hit F5 to compile and run. The browser should start and prompt you to create an admin account. Pretty easy, huh?
By default the data will be stored in a SQL CE database file in the App_Data directory. To use SQL Server, which has better performance, open web.config and switch the connection string to the included SQL Server one. Gallery Server requires a database account with a minimum of db_owner permission to the gallery database. If the account does not have permission to create the database, use SSMS to create the empty database first. The next time you access the gallery in the browser, Gallery Server will configure the database with the tables and seed data.
See the deployment section for notes on how to deploy the project to a server.
To compile the code, use Visual Studio 2015 or higher with the Bundler & Minifier extension.
