How to Update/Upgrade phpMyAdmin

Posted June 13, 2021
Ubuntu 20.04 PHP SQL

Hello,

When I log into phpMyAdmin, I get a message that there is new version of phpMyAdmin5.1.1 available (installed version is 4.9.5).
How do I update/upgrade? Will updating to latest version impact any functionality, if so, is it possible to install multiple versions side-by-side?

Thanks

niczar

Hi there @niczar,

Yes, installing two PHPmyAdmin instances side by side is possible.

You would need to do that manually by following the steps here:

By following the steps from the tutorial you will get the very latest version of PHPmyAdmin installed.

Let me know if you have any questions! Regards, Bobby
