Please add a way to manually download latest zip --- Directly from Bash

[ghost]

From various reasons, I am looking for an apt-get install alternative.

I would prefer to automatically download latest zip as from https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/

If there is already a way to do so, anyone is welcome to publish it here.

I've made a comment on the Ask Ubuntu page, but there's one part missing from my answer there. I believe there's some standard we follow for a universal URL pointing to the latest download, but I can't find it documented anywhere. @nijel do you know what I'm talking about? I can add it to the docs if you refresh my memory.

This is already documented on our website: https://www.phpmyadmin.net/about-website/#syndicate

Probably it could be linked from the downloads page...

Thanks @nijel that is exactly what I was looking for. I plan to add a quick mention of that page to both the main documentation and downloads page.

I executed this but no file was downloaded:

curl https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.zip

[nijel]

Okay, it uses redirect, so it should be:

curl --location https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.zip

Or use wget:

wget https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.zip

Okay, I think we can close this since I've added a link on the https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/ page

Note that since phpMyAdmin 4.7.0, you'll also need to run Composer from within the downloaded location in order to get the library files phpMyAdmin uses.
