How To Install pgAdmin on Ubuntu

The PGAdmin web-based application allows communication with PostgreSQL databases, both locally and remotely. PGAdmin can be used to manage any kind of database administration tasks associated with a Postgres database. Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows are supported by this development platform. There is no better Open Source database in the world than this one. We will now install pgAdmin on Ubuntu.

Step 1: Configure VPSie cloud server

Those who already have a system up and running should skip this step and do update their system.

1. Sign in to your system or register a newly created one by logging in to your VPSie account. 
2. Connect by SSH using the credentials we emailed you.
3. Once you have logged into your Ubuntu instance, run these commands to update your system.

# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

Step 2: Add pgAdmin repository

From the pgAdmin APT repository, you can get pgAdmin packages for all Linux distributions based on Debian.

# sudo curl https://www.pgadmin.org/static/packages_pgadmin_org.pub | sudo apt-key add

# sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/pgadmin/pgadmin4/apt/$(lsb_release -cs) pgadmin4 main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgadmin4.list'

Step 3: Install pgAdmin

Please update the package list.

# sudo apt update

Then install the pgAdmin

# sudo apt install pgadmin4

The Apache service should have been started immediately after installation. You can check its status by running the following command.

# systemctl status apache2
