Working with a database can sometimes be intimidating, but PhpMyAdmin can simplify
tasks by providing a control panel to view or edit your MySQL or MariaDB database. In
this quick tutorial, we’ll show you how to install PhpMyAdmin on an Ubuntu VPS server
(/products/vps).

Step 2: Install PhpMyAdmin and PHP extensions for managing non-ASCII string and
necessary tools.
During this installation you’ll be asked for the web server selection, we will select
Apache2 and select ENTER.
In this step, you have the option for automatic setup or to create the database manually.
For us, we will do the automatic installation by pressing ENTER for yes.
At this setup, you’ll be asked to set the PhpMyAdmin password. Specifically for the
PhpMyAdmin user, phpmyadmin, you’ll want to save this in a secure spot for later
retrieval.
