+This document is a step-by-step guide showing how to create and compile a simple gallery and get familiar with _ldgallery_.
 
+It mainly describes how to structure the source gallery directory accepted by the _ldgallery_ compiler.

-## Step 1: setting up the compiler
 
-The _ldgallery_ compiler's job is to transform a directory containing pictures and other types of items, alongside additional metadata, into a gallery that can be viewed in a web browser.
+# QUICKSTART GUIDE
 
-This compiler program is typically installed and runs on the computer of the gallery's owner.
+## Step 1: initialising the gallery source directory
 
-It can be installed through a package manager (package name "ldgallery") or manually by extracting a prebuilt archive available on the project's website <https://ldgallery.pacien.org>.
+A new gallery can be initialised by creating a directory containing a gallery configuration file named __gallery.yaml__.
 
-## Step 2: initialising the gallery
+```
+./monument-gallery-source
+└── gallery.yaml ----------- gallery settings file
+```
 
-A minimal gallery can be initialised by creating a directory containing a gallery configuration file named "gallery.yaml" with the following content:
+__gallery.yaml__ holds the settings of the gallery.
+Its content can be as follows:
 
 ```yaml
 # gallery.yaml: ldgallery example gallery configuration file.

-## Step 4: compiling the gallery
+## Step 3: compiling the gallery
 
 The gallery can now be compiled by running the following command in a terminal with the right path to the gallery directory created during the previous steps:
 
 ```sh
-ldgallery --with-viewer --input-dir <source gallery path>
+ldgallery \
+  --with-viewer \
+  --input-dir ./monument-gallery-source \
+  --output-dir ./monument-gallery-output

-If the compiler was installed manually through the extraction of a pre-built archive, it might be necessary to specify the full path of the installation:

 ```
 
-Running the command above produces a directory named "out" in the current directory, which contains the compiled gallery and a web viewer ready to be deployed on some web server.
-
-## Step 5: deploying the gallery
-
-The content of the "out" directory generated at the previous step can now simply be uploaded to some web host, for example with an FTP client like FileZilla or through rsync/SSH with the following command:
-
-```sh
-rsync -Prz out/* user@webhost:publication_path/

 The target web host doesn't need to run any additional software besides a web server correctly configured to serve flat static files.

 ## Version control
 
-Some standard version-control software such as Git or Mercurial can easily be used to keep track of the evolutions of the gallery directory, thanks to the text-based format used for the sidecar metadata files.
