Solution to bash: mysql: command not found [linux mysql command]

question

Under Linux, when mysql is running normally, the prompt when typing mysql is:
mysql command not found
. If you encounter -bash: mysql: command not found, don’t worry. This is caused by the lack of mysql in the /usr/local/bin directory. Only You need the following methods to solve it:

1.vim ~/.bash_profile 最下面写 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin(你的安装bin目录)  

:wq 保存退出

2.source ~/.bash_profile

然后就直接可以实现了 给分吧 亲自试验过

 

3.

>>mysql  -uroot -p

>>输入密码

 

或者另一个原因：

 ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql /usr/bin

把mysql安装目录，比如将MYSQLPATH/bin/mysql，映射到/usr/local/bin目录下： 
# cd /usr/local/bin
# ln -fs /MYSQLPATH/bin/mysql mysql

还有其它常用命令mysqladmin、mysqldump等不可用时候都可按用此方法解决。
注：其中这个MYSQLPATH是mysql的实际安装路径
