I am trying to install phpMyAdmin using ssh (I use putty to connect to my Virtual Private server from my windows home computer)
I have managed to download the latest phpMyAdmin from sourceforge and I have renamed it to phpMyAdmin.tar.gz
Now I don't know how to install it. I have tried "apt-get install phpMyAdmin.tar.gz" but that gives me:
Code: Select all
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package phpMyAdmin.tar.gz
I also tried "pear install phpMyAdmin.tar.gz" but receive the following error:
Code: Select all
parsePackageName(): invalid package name "phpMyAdmin.tar.gz" in "phpMyAdmin.tar.gz"
could not extract the package.xml file from "phpMyAdmin.tar.gz"
Cannot initialize 'phpMyAdmin.tar.gz', invalid or missing package file
Package "phpMyAdmin.tar.gz" is not valid
install failed
