That guide should work. I generally, however, recommend installing it manually instead of via the package manager (i.e. download the files, run the installer, etc) if you need phpMyAdmin as I find it to be more reliable.

That being said, I’ve about dropped usage of phpMyAdmin in favor of Adminer because it’s a single file (instead of hundreds), works the same, and when I need it, I upload that file – when I don’t, I delete the file. No need for password protection, maintaining the large file base and the updates that go with it, etc.

I manage a number of WordPress sites in production and in development as well as quite a few web servers. They take up a lot of my time, so when I can reduce the need to rely on a larger code base and the solution works, I aim to use it instead. Adminer fits that need perfectly and when it doesn’t, I use the CLI.

I’d recommend giving it a shot. You can download the file here:

https://github.com/vrana/adminer/releases/download/v4.3.1/adminer-4.3.1.php

Simply upload that your your web root (i.e. where your index.php file is), rename it to something else (i.e. such as dba.php, dbmin.php, etc) and access it. When you’re done, delete it. There’s no need to install anything, it just works as long as you provide the right database credentials when trying to login.
