Обсуждение: install pgAdmin4-desktop on Ubuntu without installing pgAdmin4-server
Hello all,
Unfortunately when I try to just install pgAdmin4-desktop as directed apt returns the following:
Is there a way to install just pgadmin4-desktop on Ubuntu?
Following the instructions here:
It states:
# Install for both desktop and web modes:
sudo apt install pgadmin4
# Install for desktop mode only:
sudo apt install pgadmin4-desktop
# Install for web mode only:
sudo apt install pgadmin4-web
Unfortunately when I try to just install pgAdmin4-desktop as directed apt returns the following:
The following additional packages will be installed:
pgadmin4-server
The following NEW packages will be installed:
pgadmin4-desktop pgadmin4-server
Which makes the three seemingly disparate commands:
- sudo apt install pgadmin4
- sudo apt install pgadmin4-desktop
- sudo apt install pgadmin4-web
identicle, at least when trying to install just the desktop portion of pgAdmin4.
How do I install just pgAdmin4-desktop?
Thanks.

The desktop package is just the Electron runtime and some supporting code, along with a dependency on the server package. You need to have the server package as that's 99.999% of the pgAdmin code.
The -web package is only needed if you want to run under a webserver, and essentially just contains the required config files for doing so and a dependency on the -server package.
