If you click the "Download" link at the top of the main page on the
PgAdmin site, you get a page with links to packages for various
distributions. I haven't used CentOS, so I can't advise which package to
use - RPM maybe?

If that's all you need to do, you may as well do it from the command
line - log into the DBMS with psql[1], and then issue CREATE DATABASE
and CREATE USER commands; or you could use the createdb[2] and
createuser[3] wrapper programs, which are quite handy.
