P.S. ok I just downloaded & installed XAMPP. looks like having that will let me install phpMyAdmin
(ref: http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html)
Installing on Windows
The easiest way to get phpMyAdmin on Windows is using third party products which include phpMyAdmin together with a database and web server such as XAMPP.
great! “phpMyAdmin” did not automatically install. I tried using the RUN command but still can’t figure this out. if you know how to install that would be very helpful. thank you.
