# Install PHPMyAdmin

the valet has been installed now, let's go and install PHPMyAdmin and link it with the .test subdomain using valet first of all, create a folder for your sites on the home directory \~

```bash
cd ~
mkdir Sites
cd Sites
```

now we are on the Sites path, let's park this directory to be the directory of our projects

```bash
valet park
```

now any project on this directory will be auto-linked with subdomain .test, let's download PHPMyAdmin from this [link](https://www.phpmyadmin.net/) and unzip the file inside the Sites directory and rename the folder to PHPMyAdmin, after that go inside the folder and use this command

```bash
cp config.sample.inc.php config.sample.php
nano config.sample.php
```

change the line to

```php
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'YK07LhNSe50vrj,HwBfb.l3gpbv;u8b7',
```

now use CTRL + x and say Y now we will use valet to link PHPMyAdmin and secure the link with SSL

```bash
valet link
valet secure
valet open
```

now you can see the PHPMyAdmin working and you can use root as the user and the password you created to MySQL to login

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tomatophp.com/get-started/environment-setup/install-phpmyadmin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
