Question

How can I install phpmyadmin on Ubuntu 19.10?

Answer 1

It's a bit hard to help without knowing what you already tried, but I see you tagged apt so I'm gonna start there.

First of all, you need to update apt metadata by running

sudo apt update

After that you can try

apt search 'phpmyadmin*'

Notice the * wildcard. Also I wrapped the search term with '' single quotes so Bash will not expand * (if it happens to match anything) before APT sees it.

If this doesn't help, then the package is not available in your repository right now. In that case you have these options:

1. Wait - find some info about why it is missing and when it will be back. This is out of scope of this answer, for more info see the related question.

2. Install the package from a PPA:

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phpmyadmin/ppa
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install phpmyadmin
   

3. Try an alternative. I personally prefer Adminer which should also be available through apt.
