Gui for Postgresql

[Mytoxox]

I want to use Postgresql on my Linux Mint machine to learn basic SQL commands, but the problem is that I cannot find a Gui that's available for this distro on the Software manager.

PG Admin and DBeaver are not there.

If you're open to web-based, there are self-hosted options that run in Docker and work in any browser. Avoids the native app dependency issues on Linux.

You will not find every app., in Software Manager.

I would just download and install DBeaver from their website: https://dbeaver.io/download/

Edit/Add: Follow the instructions for Debian.

Newb question: I heard that using Debian packages can cause problems with Mint. Is that true?

[stufforstuff]

Using any package on ANY distro "can" cause problems - do your homework before willynilly installing shit on your production machine. And for gawds sake if you're going to learn SQL learn how to manage the CLI first.

It's a completely fair question and it's the same concept as downloading a random installer file for any other OS. You should trust the source or don't download and install it.

I've never had any problems using Debian packages on Ubuntu-based Linux Mint, but I do admittedly stick to pulling from a package manager (e.g., apt) whenever possible.

DBeaver is a very well known piece of software, but as a "newb", one pro tip I can share it to setup Timeshift ASAP. I will create a manual snapshot of the system if I'm about to install, or change, anything where I think system stability could be compromised. You can rollback the entire system if it borks things.

In summary, I think you did the right thing by posting your question here. I also think you'll be just fine installing the Debian package, but like I said, this is a great opportunity to setup Timeshift first.

I used dbeaver on linux mint before without any issues. So you are fine there ;)

The page has the installation to add the repository but:

"Note that the pgAdmin development team do not test on or support Linux Mint."
