## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin directory to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to Tools → Import and choose Gallery2 from the list.
 4. Fill in your Gallery2 database settings and import preferences.

NOTE: You should [increase your PHP memory limit](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP)
if the importer stops when it reaches a large image file. In testing, it used up
to 82MB on some JPGs. It also takes a fair amount of time — 20 minutes for a test
gallery containing about 900 photos.
