pgAdmin 4 (Python)

Download

Maintainer: pgAdmin Development Team

A Python package is available for those wishing to run pgAdmin as a web application in a Python environment. Note that the packages do not include the Desktop Runtime.

pgAdmin is available on PyPi. To install it, create a virtual environment as required, and then use pip to install. Note that pgAdmin will run in server mode, using system-wide paths so you may need to create them first:

$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/pgadmin
$ sudo mkdir /var/log/pgadmin
$ sudo chown $USER /var/lib/pgadmin
$ sudo chown $USER /var/log/pgadmin
$ python3 -m venv pgadmin4
$ source pgadmin4/bin/activate
(pgadmin4) $ pip install pgadmin4
...
(pgadmin4) $ pgadmin4
NOTE: Configuring authentication for SERVER mode.

Enter the email address and password to use for the initial pgAdmin user account:

Manual installation with a Python Wheel package

To install, download the wheel and install with a command such as pip install https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v4.29/pip/pgadmin4-4.29-py3-none-any.whl or pip install ./pgadmin4-4.29-py3-none-any.whl if you've manually downloaded the file. It is strongly recommended that a Python Virtual Environment is used.

pgAdmin can now be run with a command like python ~/pgadmin4/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pgadmin4/pgAdmin4.py (assuming you use a virtual environment at ~/pgadmin4). Finally, point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:5050.
