3.1. Installation
Before installing phpMyAdmin you will need access to a MySQL database either on the same host as that phpMyAdmin is installed on, or on a host accessible over the network. For more information see Section 1, “MySQL” [p. 233]. From a terminal prompt enter:
sudo apt install phpmyadmin
At the prompt choose which web server to be configured for phpMyAdmin. The rest of this section will use Apache2 for the web server.
In a browser go to http://servername/phpmyadmin, replacing servername with the server's actual hostname. At the login, page enter root for the username, or another MySQL user, if you have any setup, and enter the MySQL user's password.
Once logged in you can reset the root password if needed, create users, create/destroy databases and tables, etc.
