Do not install any version of pgadmin4 which doesn't come with installer
especially the *nix versions.

Even the sarcastic women on YouTube used the windows installer.

She says you can't beat free with a stick.
The person who is doing pgadmin4 login window. Managed to persuade people
to stay away from pgadmin4. I am persuaded.
Even
EnterpriseDB appreciates the hopeless hapless maintainer, that they
provide their own gui installer which works every time.

My windows10 versions 12 are trouble free as I have an installer for that.

Let's face it some people just aren't cut out for software development and
we know who you are. "Maintainer of pgadmjn4".
EnterpriseDB agree.
