In this guide, we will look at how to install phpMyAdmin on Fedora Linux system. PHPMyAdmin is an open source software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

phpMyAdmin has support for a wide range of operations on MySQL, MariaDB, and Drizzle. It is often used to perform common Database operations (managing databases, tables, columns, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc) through an intuitive and easy to use web interface. phpMyAdmin is installable on most major distributions of Linux, Windows systems, and on macOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
