Re: pgAdmin 4 - desktop version - RPM

Hi Dave,

You are absolutely right, you need to extract the server first and then
the desktop RPM and the "pgAdmin 4" desktop version works!

By the way, I'm on Linux Manjaro for which you don't have a package and
that's why it's easiest to use the RPM package.
