Hi @534878350
You can have a look at this tutorial:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-phpmyadmin-on-a-lemp-server
If your web-root is different than /usr/share/nginx/www, then you need to change that to reflect your setup.
This tutorial covers the installation of phpMyAdmin on a LEMP server (as opposed to a LAMP server). phpMyAdmin is a free software to work with MySQL on the web—it provides a convenient visual front end to the capabilities of MySQL.

So can I directly install phpmyadmin by this tutorial?I’m worry about the installation circumstance.Because I directly install the wordpress during contributing the droplet, I’m worry lacking something for the installation circumstance.

Otherwise you can simply go to https://www.phpmyadmin.net/ and download the ZIP-file, which you upload+extract to the position where you want.
Or you could use https://www.adminer.org/ which is a single file, but does a lot of the regular functions that phpMyAdmin does. -

If you want to install on your WordPress one-click droplet do this:sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/ sudo service nginx restart -

Unless you really need phpMyAdmin, I would recommend a more secure approach that is using a MySQL client (such as MySQL Workbench, HeidiSQL, etc.) and accessing the MySQL server through an SSH tunnel.
To set up the tunnel, run:
ssh root@droplet-ip -L 3306:127.0.0.1:3306 -N
on your local machine, and configure your SQL client to connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 3306.
