Installing and setting up phpMyAdmin

This is unusually straightforward for open source software. From Unix command line:

1. wget phpMyAdmin-3.3.9-english.tar.gz (or use curl instead of wget)
2. tar -xvzf phpMyAdmin-3.3.9-english.tar.gz
   (on the webserver)
3. ln -s phpMyAdmin-3.3.9-english phpMyAdmin
   (so you can access the better-named ‘phpMyAdmin’ and have it point to whichever the latest version is)
4. mkdir config
5. chmod o+rw config
6. cp config.sample.inc.php config/config.inc.php
7. chmod o+w config/config.inc.php
8. In a web browser go to yourhostname/setup, e.g. http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/setup/
