      Quick bit of info, if like me, you receive an error when following the exact steps – after the wget, you’ll see:
      [[email protected]]# yum install phpPgAdmin
      Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
      Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
      * base: mirrors.usinternet.com
      * extras: mirror.team-cymru.org
      * updates: mirrors-pa.sioru.com
      Setting up Install Process
      No package phpPgAdmin available.
      Error: Nothing to do

      Do this instead:
      [[email protected]]# yum install pgdg-centos91-9.1-4.noarch.rpm

      THEN you can yum install the package name… It’s just that the rpm needed to be installed for the repo before continuing.

        Hey bro, thank you. I worked for me, but I am having a problem to log in on phpPgAdmin. I created a new super user through terminal, but I cannot log in on phpPgAdmin. Can you help with this?
