Gallery Lightbox with Description and arrows doesn't appear.

Hi downloaded the gallery app and cannot get the lightbox to appear with the text description and arrows. I have installed it straight out the box and followed the instructions I think I am missing some js or some config files?

gallery.php 
<ul class="photo-block grid-parent ul-base">
  <?php perch_gallery_images(); ?>
</ul>

index.html aka gallery template 

<perch:gallery id="image" type="image" key="small" height="260"  />
<perch:gallery id="image" type="image" key="main"  height="480" />

slightly modded  - e_list_image.html
<perch:before>
<ul class="imagelisting glist cont">
</perch:before>

<li class="photo-each grid-child">
<a href="<perch:gallery id="main" />">
<img src="<perch:gallery id="small" />" width="<perch:gallery id="small-w" />" height="<perch:gallery id="small-h" />" alt="<perch:gallery id="imageAlt" />" /></a>
</li>
<perch:after>
</ul>

<perch:if exists="paging">
<ul class="pager glist">
<li class="paging-label">Page <perch:gallery id="current_page" /> of <perch:gallery id="number_of_pages" /></li>
<perch:if exists="not_first_page">
<li><a class="paging-prev" href="<perch:gallery id="prev_url" encode="false" />">Previous</a></li>
</perch:if>
<perch:if exists="not_last_page">
<li><a class="paging-next" href="<perch:gallery id="next_url" encode="false" />">Next</a></li>
</perch:if>
</ul>
</perch:if>
</perch:after>
