Linux distributions ¶
phpMyAdmin is included in most Linux distributions. It is recommended to use distribution packages when possible - they usually provide integration to your distribution and you will automatically get security updates from your distribution.
Debian and Ubuntu¶
Debian's package repositories include a phpMyAdmin package, but be aware that the configuration file is maintained in /etc/phpmyadmin and may differ in some ways from the official phpMyAdmin documentation. Specifically, it does:
- Configuration of a web server (works for Apache and lighttpd).
- Creating of phpMyAdmin configuration storage using dbconfig-common.
- Securing setup script, see Setup script on Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives.

More information can be found in README.Debian (it is installed as /usr/share/doc/phmyadmin/README.Debian with the package).
OpenSUSE¶
OpenSUSE already comes with phpMyAdmin package, just install packages from the openSUSE Build Service.
Gentoo¶
Gentoo ships the phpMyAdmin package, both in a near-stock configuration as well as in a webapp-config configuration. Use emerge dev-db/phpmyadmin to install.
Mandriva¶
Mandriva ships the phpMyAdmin package in their contrib branch and can be installed via the usual Control Center.
Fedora¶
Fedora ships the phpMyAdmin package, but be aware that the configuration file is maintained in /etc/phpMyAdmin/ and may differ in some ways from the official phpMyAdmin documentation.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux¶
Red Hat Enterprise Linux itself and thus derivatives like CentOS don't ship phpMyAdmin, but the Fedora-driven repository Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is doing so, if it's enabled. But be aware that the configuration file is maintained in /etc/phpMyAdmin/ and may differ in some ways from the official phpMyAdmin documentation.
