Step 1. Go to http://minishowcase.frwrd.net/?download and download the latest version.
Step 2. Edit the config/settings.php file as you see necessary. Use something like wordpad (windows) or textedit (mac) to make any changes. Each of the settings you can change are well commented, so they tell you what they do when you change them. If you have any questions let me know and I will try to help you.
Step 3. One setting I recommend you change is you change $settings['create_thumbnails'] and $settings['cache_thumbnails'] to yes, this will make it so that it creates thumbnails, and that is caches them for faster load times when your website viewers are looking at your galleries.
Step 4. It is now time to create your first gallery! Create a new folder inside the galleries folder. Name it whatever you wish that gallery to be listed as on your website. If you want it to be named Christmas photos 2006 you would name the folder Christmas_photos_2006 notice I used _ for spaces. This is important!
Step 5. Place the photos you want for that gallery inside of your newly made, newly renamed folder.
Step 6. Repeat for each new gallery you wish to create.
Step 7. Upload these to your website!
