First of all add lightgallery.css in the of the document.

Then include jQuery and lightgallery.min.js into your document. If you want to include any lightgallery plugin you can include it after lightgallery.min.js. lightGallery and it’s plugins are available in lightgallery-all.js


    ....



lightGallery also supports AMD, CommonJS and ES6 modules.
When you use AMD make sure that lightgallery.js is loaded before lightgallery modules.

require(['./lightgallery.js'], function() {
    require(["./lg-zoom.js", "./lg-thumbnail.js"], function(){
        $("#lightgallery").lightGallery(); 
    });
});

lightgallery does not force you to use any kind of markup. you can use whatever markup you want. But I suggest you to use the following markup. Here you can find the detailed examples of different kind of markups.
