How to use pgadmin python when do not have root priviledges

I want to use pgadmin python as described on the pgadmin website https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-python/. The problem is that the server I am on, I do not have root priviledges. I am able to pip install pgadmin4, but after that when I try to run pgadmin4 on command line, I get the following error ERROR : Failed to create the directory /var/lib/pgadmin:. How can I resolve this?

Solution

  • I finally found by reading the documentation. Find config.py file in your pgadmin4 package. Create another file config_local.py. Now replace /var/lib everywhere in config_local.py to some other directory.
