Step 2. Click Softaculous Apps Installer under Software panel.
Step 3. Search for phpMyAdmin on the search bar. Click on phpMyAdmin.
Step 4. Click Install Now.
Step 5. Choose the domain name and the directory where you want to install phpMyAdmin.

Once it is installed, you can then provide the link: http://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin to a user or developer to start managing your database. The credentials they need are the following:
