Re: pgadmin4 from apt.postgresql.org - ubuntu xenial - solved

Thanks I'm in now

The solution was:

python3 /usr/share/pgadmin4/web/pgAdmin4.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/pgadmin4/web/pgAdmin4.py", line 55, in <module>
    exec(open(file_quote(setupfile), 'r').read())
  File "<string>", line 46, in <module>
  File "/usr/share/pgadmin4/web/pgadmin/setup/data_directory.py", line 23, in create_app_data_directory
    _create_directory_if_not_exists(os.path.dirname(config.SQLITE_PATH))
  File "/usr/share/pgadmin4/web/pgadmin/setup/data_directory.py", line 15, in _create_directory_if_not_exists
    os.mkdir(_path)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/pgadmin'

Then make directories and provide very wide permissions!

sudo mkdir /var/lib/pgadmin"
sudo chmod a+wrx /var/lib/pgadmin

sudo mkdir /var/log/pgadmin
sudo chmod a+wrx /var/log/pgadmin

tonbaz@muscat:~$ python3 /usr/share/pgadmin4/web/pgAdmin4.py
Starting pgAdmin 4. Please navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5050 in your browser.

Success and that's enough to get me and hopefully others started!

But the interesting thing is I installed the package pgadmin4 described as "PostgreSQL management tool - GUI application"

running pgadmin4
  brings up a splash screen before failing as described below

I presume this is the gui version

But the procedure above activates what I believe is the web version

Could you confirm my thinking on this

Cheers
Tony

Hi all,

I've tried to install pgadmin4 from apt.postgresql.org and get the error below.
I'm no python expert but both python-flask and python3-flask packages are installed.

Would appreciate any thoughts on what I should try next

I suspect it’s because Christoph build the packages using Python 3. I don’t know how to make that default on Ubuntu (or even if you can), but try something like:

python3 /path/to/pgAdmin4.py

Thanks
