OK, so I got it working on F25 (sorry it wasn't earlier - this week
has been crazy busy).

Until the RPMs are updated, here's what you can do:

- Install the PGDG 9.6 repo:
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/fedora/fedora-25-x86_64/pgdg-fedora96-9.6-3.noarch.rpm

- Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-96-fedora.repo and set all repos to have
"enabled=0" except for pgdg96-updates-testing, which should have
"enabled=1"

- As root, run:

dnf install pgadmin4-v1 python3-htmlmin

- As root, run:

cp -r /etc/pgadmin /etc/xdg/

On a clean installation of F25, I could then run pgAdmin in the
desktop runtime, either from the UI or by running /usr/bin/pgadmin4.

However, for reasons as-yet unknown to me, the UI seems to be
defaulting to Chinese. I suspect this is something to do with the way
Qt may have been built on this platform. Anyway, that can be easily
fixed by running this as root:

cat << EOF > /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pgadmin4-web/config_local.py
LANGUAGES = {
'en': 'English'
}
EOF
