You need to have the server package as that's 99.999% of the pgAdmin code. The -web package is only needed if you want to run under a webserver, and essentially just contains the required config files for doing so and a dependency on the -server package. -- Dave Page pgAdmin: https://www.pgadmin.org PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org pgEdge: https://www.pgedge.com
