How to Install Adminer on CentOS 6.2 Server

Adminer is a comprehensive database management tool, developed in PHP. Unlike phpMyAdmin, which requires multiple files, Adminer is a single-file tool, making it easy to deploy on your server. It supports a variety of databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, and Oracle.

This guide will provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Adminer on a CentOS 6.2.

Step 1: Download Adminer

The first step in the installation process is to download the Adminer file. You can do this by using the wget command as shown below:

Step 2: Unzip the Adminer File

After downloading the Adminer file, the next step is to unzip it. You can do this by using the unzip command as shown below:

[root@centos62 ~]# unzip adminer-3.3.3.zip

If you encounter an error stating that the unzip command is not found, it means that unzip is not installed on your server.

Step 3: Install Unzip

If unzip is not installed on your server, you can install it using the yum command as shown below:

[root@centos62 ~]# yum install unzip -y

This command will install unzip on your CentOS server. After the installation is complete, you can proceed to unzip the Adminer file.
