+# Setup _pgAdmin_
+
+[pgAdmin](http://localhost:5480) is available locally at http://localhost:5480
+
+After logging into _pgAdmin_, first create a connection to the database:
+
+1. in the first tab give the server connect a name
+
+2. in the second tab indicate how _pgAdmin_ connects to the database server
+
+    2.1 Host name = **localhost**
+
+    2.2 Port = **35432**
+
+    2.3 Maintenance database = **mainnet**
+
+    2.4 Username = <your db username>
+
+    2.5 Password = <your db password>
+
+    2.6 Save password? = yes, tick this one
+
+Then, "save" these settings and the connection is ready. If you encounter errors, then most probably a wrong password was entered or the username does not match.
