How To Install pgAdmin on Rocky Linux 9

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install pgAdmin on Rocky Linux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, pgAdmin is a free and open-source graphical administration tool for PostgreSQL, one of the most advanced open-source databases. It allows one to manage the PostgreSQL database from the web interface by providing all the required features.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of pgAdmin4 on Rocky Linux. 9.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Rocky Linux 9.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
