How to install pgAdmin4 in Ubuntu 16.04 with Python3

Then create a virtualenv in a particular directory ~/py3-venv-pgadmin

mkdir py3-venv-pgadmin

virtualenv –system-site-packages –no-setuptools –python=python3.5 ~/py3-venv-pgadmin

Then activate the virtualenv

cd ~/py3-venv-pgadmin/bin

source activate

And check it

~/py3-venv-pgadmin/bin/pip3

Then install the pgAdmin 4.

pip3 install pgadmin4–2.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Then

cd ~/py3-venv-pgadmin/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pgadmin4
touch config_local.py
nano config_local.py

Paste the below content

import os
SERVER_MODE = False
DATA_DIR = os.path.realpath(os.path.expanduser(u’~/.pgadmin/’))
LOG_FILE = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, ‘pgadmin4.log’)
SQLITE_PATH = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, ‘pgadmin4.db’)
SESSION_DB_PATH = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, ‘sessions’)
STORAGE_DIR = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, ‘storage’)

Run this python file using pyhton3

python3 ~/py3-venv-pgadmin/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pgadmin4/setup.py

Run the pgAdmin 4

python3 ~/py3-venv-pgadmin/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pgadmin4/pgAdmin4.py

Just check the 127.0.0.1:5050

We can use the pgAdmin 4 in the localhost.

Exit from the virtualenv

deactivate

Now we need to create a python script to run pgadmin4

nano ~/py3-venv-pgadmin/pgadmin4.sh

Then paste the below contend

#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd ~/py3-venv-pgadmin/bin
source activate
python3 ~/py3-venv-pgadmin/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pgadmin4/pgAdmin4.py

Then Create alias for bash

nano ~/.bashrc

Then write a single line at the last of this file.

alias pgadmin4=’~/py3-venv-pgadmin/pgadmin4.sh’

reload bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

now you can run pgadmin

pgadmin4
