How to install pgAdmin

I use Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. At first I installed pgAdmin through Software Center. But it seemed old. So, I decided to uninstal it.

Then I downloaded graphic installer for PostgresQL.

sudo ./postgresql-9.2.1-1-linux-x64.run

I was warned that a previous version of pgAdmin is found, it will be upgraded but I'll have to restart the server.

Well, installation process worked. Then I turned out in terminal again.

I restarted the server

/etc/init.d$ sudo ./postgresql-9.2 restart


/opt/PostgreSQL/9.2/pgAdmin3/bin$ ./pgadmin3

The answer is:

The program 'pgadmin3' is currently not installed.

So, I can't find my pgAdmin to launch it. Could you suggest me anything?

Install it using:

sudo apt-get install pgadmin3

With a newer version you lose the advantage of having updates "sanctioned" by the community.

However if you need the latest pgadmin3 that works with PostgreSQL 9.2 you need to:

sudo apt-get remove pgadmin3 -- remove it if already installed
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:voronov84/andreyv
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pgadmin3

I'm new to Ubuntu. Maybe your argument is reasonable. But I already did this step through GUI. Then I removed what was installed. I decided that the newest release is better for me. Then there is a learning shade. I have come across a difficulty, then it is interesting for me how to break through. Maybe you could suggest me what I dit wrongly? – Kifsif – 2012-10-06T20:11:19.870

Thank you. Well, I'll try that but not this time. Nowadays I would like to find out what i did wrongly and how to proceed. I don't want to remove the program. It may have installed correctly. But somehow I can't find it. Could you help me? – Kifsif – 2012-10-06T21:03:42.637

can third party repos like these be trusted? or should we stick with either building source or installing the older version from the ubuntu repo – chrismarx – 2014-01-22T16:25:11.637
