1. Download the plugin from http://tubepress.org/download
2. Unzip into your plugins directory at (wp-content/plugins)
3. Activate TubePress from Site Admin > Plugins
4. Configure from Site Admin > Settings > TubePress
5. Type in a post or a page where you'd like to insert your gallery (this is actually the simplest form of a TubePress shortcode). See the image below for an example.
   
6. Vimeo users only. Perform the one-time setup of your Vimeo API key and secret as described in the appendix.
