It goes almost the same way like in Mint 18, but MySQL root user is disabled in Ubuntu 18 based systems, so the installation goes the next way:

sudo apt-get install apache2

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

sudo mysql -p -u root

mysql> CREATE USER 'username_here'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password_here';

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ’username_here’@’%’ WITH GRANT OPTION;

 

mysql user instruction

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

… and set password

…. and login into PhpMyAdmin

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
