Create Symbolic Link

---

Create a symbolic link from the installation files to Nginx's document root directory.

sudo ln -s  /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/phpmyadmin

Enter it into your browser's address bar to check that phpmyadmin is installed. http://yourserver-ip-address/phpmyadmin/. You should see a page similar to the below one.

Done!
