Bringing MySQL administration to the web

Download

Many operating systems already include a phpMyAdmin package and will automatically keep it updated. However, these versions are sometimes slightly outdated and may be missing the latest features. Additionally, the configuration process varies widely by package and may not adhere to the official phpMyAdmin documentation. That being said, it is usually the quickest and easiest way of keeping an updated installation. Please contact your OS vendor for more information. Some additional information is also available in our documentation. If you just want to try phpMyAdmin in a virtual environment, you might want to check the available pre-configured solutions.

If you do not find a suitable package or wish to install your own phpMyAdmin, you can download one of the following kits. Please check the version requirements to ensure compatibility with your environment.
