A web server which supports PHP. PHP3 or PHP4 should work. Windows users will be better off upgrading to the latest version of PHP4.
The mkGallery utility requires Perl and ImageMagick. See docs/Utilities.txt for more information. ImageMagick is not required to use Mig itself; it is only required if you want to use mkGallery to create thumbnail images.
If you wish to extract embedded comments from JPEG files, you will also need a C compiler (such as gcc) in order to build the (included) jhead utility. (see docs/Utilites.txt)
Note: there are a lot of files in the docs subdirectory. For a basic installation, all you really have to read is INSTALL. The others are informative and you ought to read them to learn more about what you can do, but they're not required reading just to install Mig and get it working. You do need to read at least INSTALL.
For those who prefer HTML, there are HTML versions of all of the documents in the docs/html directory.
Windows users should additionally refer to docs/Windows.txt for installation information.
PHP-Nuke users should read docs/phpNuke.txt for more information.
It's also a good idea to read docs/CHANGELOG to see what has changed recently, or just to get an idea of what Mig can do and what its pitfalls might be.
There are two mailing lists related to Mig. Visit the URLs below if you wish to subscribe. Both lists are currently fairly low-traffic.
mig-announce is an announcements-only list. New versions and so forth are announced on this list.
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mig-announce
mig-users is a general discussion list. Any mig-related topic can be discussed on this list. Note also that I typically send announcements here, so if you subscribe to mig-users you don't necessarily have to subscribe to mig-announce as well (but you can if you want to).
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mig-users
