Re: the installation of pgadmin4 makes me weep in frustration

I know this has already been answered, but for those who are also python users, there is another and probably better option:

If you already have a python 3.6+ installation, you can download the pgadmin4 wheel (python installable) from https://www.pgadmin.org/download/ 

Then do a pip install on it as for any other python module.

I prefer this route as it avoids having multiple python versions loaded on my machine.

The standard install for the current version of pgadmin4 will download python along with it.

As far as other tools go, I prefer to design my database using a modeling tool.

As the only database we use or will use is postgresql, I find https://pgmodeler.io to be pretty good for e free(ish) product.  
It provides support for many postgres-only features such as extensions, functions, json/jsonb and so on
And for a new python user, the product manual (contribution required) is an excellent source for postgres-specific design topics.

Thanks to Postgres Debian/Ubuntu packaging team, Installing pgAdmin4 is straightforward task,

1) Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list and add a line for the repository
deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ bionic-pgdg main

2) Import the repository signing key, and update the package lists
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -

3) sudo apt-get update

4) sudo apt-get install pgadmin4

    Hi There

    first, thanks a lot for the great an beautiful software we get
      from PostgreSQL and all people around it.
    But I wonder how it comes, that installing pgadmin4 is so
      incredibly hard?
    And no documentation.
    I would like to install pgadmin4 to my ubuntu 18.1 laptop.
    Where do I find doku on how to install pgadmin4. Preferably I
      would like to install it using pip?

    thanks
    robert
