Hi there,

It is available for Hirsute - I've running Kubuntu, and installed it via 
apt as above.

I'd imagine that this is down to the packaging rather than pgAdmin 
itself. Anyway, examining the menu entry on my laptop reveals the 
following command launches it:

    /usr/pgadmin4/bin/pgadmin4

So you could maybe add /usr/pgadmin4/bin to your PATH, or set up an 
alias in your .profile, or something like that.

I hope that this helps.

Ray.
