I just finished setting up a default Linux EC2 instance and would like to install PHPMyAdmin. I already have Apache and MySQL installed but cannot seem to install PHPMyAdmin. I tried using

sudo apt-get phpmyadmin but the command apt-get is not recognized.

I also tried sudo yum install phpmyadmin but that I get the message No package phpmyadmin available.

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

I found an easy solution here

Do the following:

Navigate to the apache folder

cd /var/www/html

Download phpMyAdmin

wget http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/files/phpMyAdmin/3.4.1/phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages.tar.bz2

Unzip

tar -jxf phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages-tar.bz2 -C /var/www/html

Rename the folder

mv phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages phpmyadmin

Remove the zip file

rm -rf phpMyAdmin-3.4.1-all-languages.tar.bz2

That's the basics. You can find more info in the link provided above.

First add the repository, then install:

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm 
sudo yum install phpmyadmin

This works fine on a standart 32bits amazon instance

Also working well on 64bit amazon linux. This is may be better for some users then the "accepted" answer as it resolves the dependencies faster then doing a manual install. – Nir Levy Feb 8 at 15:34

note that you'll need to supplement this install with "ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/html/phpmyadmin" – Nir Levy Feb 8 at 15:36

The package is called phpMyAdmin. You may need to enable EPEL first.

Can you provide more clarification? How do I go about enabling EPEL? – David May 31 '11 at 21:04
Did you try reading "How can I use these extra packages?"? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams May 31 '11 at 21:11
That looks way too difficult just to install phpMyAdmin. See my answer for a better solution. – David Jun 2 '11 at 15:07
