how to install phpmyadmin in Ubuntu server 18.04.1 LTS Bionic?

Question

i created this question because i cant install phpmyadmin in Ubuntu 18.04 bionic LTS.

i use

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

And get "unable to locate package"

I search the package in package.ubuntu.com

And add to sources.list this repository:

mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu

Now appear a error from depencies.

php-mbstring
php-common

later when try install these, appear:

php7.2-mbstring
php7.2-common

And later:

Solution 2

You can install phpMyAdmin from the default Ubuntu repositories

sudo apt update
sudo apt install phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-gettext

This article is clear enough.

Solution 3

You can install phpMyAdmin from the mirror_kernel for bionic Ubuntu repositories

sudo apt update
sudo apt install phpmyadmin*

if you said nothing appear to do apt search phpmyadmin
please check your repo with right repo in that link.

Solution 4

The solution is as follows (in case the link goes dead [good point, Melebius]):

*You should be able to use any of the listed mirrors by adding a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe

Replacing cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu with the mirror in question.

You can download the requested file from the pool/universe/p/phpmyadmin/ subdirectory at any of these sites:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/all/phpmyadmin/download

You should be able to use any of the listed mirrors by adding a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe

Replacing cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu with the mirror in question.
