And p.s. - for whatever reason, the first time I looked at the downloads page, I didn't scroll all the way down to the bottom. For further unexplained reasons, I just now went back to it and scrolled down to see:
"To install, download the wheel and install with a command such as pip install ./pgadmin4-1.3-py2.py3-none-any.whl. It is strongly recommended that a Python Virtual Environment is used.
pgAdmin can now be run with a command like python ~/pgadmin4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pgadmin4/pgAdmin4.py (assuming you use a virtual environment at ~/pgadmin4). Finally, point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:5050.
Please see the online documentation for information on deploying pgAdmin 4 behind a web server."
The only additional comment I will sheepishly make is that I don't see any docs distinguishing between a new install and an upgrade.

Well for what it's worth, I'm running Kubuntu 18.10 and I usually apt-get install pgAdmin4. The instructions on how to add the relevant repository is here: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt .
The only caveat is that it tends to lag behind the releases for windows and RPM (sometimes even skipping a version or two).
So I am finally getting around to upgrading my pgadmin4, and I was a little confused about the 'best' way to install or upgrade. The answer to this question may be out there, but I didn't see it.
I checked pypi, and a search for pgadmin4 came up empty. But I have seen blogs and tutorials (out of date?) make reference to doing a pip install. And yet, on postgresql.org, my search led me to downloading a wheel (which, if memory serves, is how I got my current version) with no reference to pip install. But then how did I get all the dependencies? Are they in the wheel, too?
There is also, apparently, apt-get (I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 with Postgresql 11.2).
If there is a simple but up to date explanation of all this out there, feel free to just link to it in your response instead of writing out the answer here. Thanks.
