Hello all,

Is there a way to install just pgadmin4-desktop on Ubuntu?

Following the instructions here:
https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-apt/

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.
