acces to mysql from terminal

[santix_17]

Hi everybody!
I don't know if it's a problem or i'm doing it wrong, but when i try to access to mysql from terminal (in linux mint 21.2 with xamp 8.2.0), terminal says this (i'm argentinian, translation below):
No se ha encontrado la orden «mysql», pero se puede instalar con:
sudo apt install mysql-client-core-8.0 # version 8.0.34-0ubuntu0.22.04.1, or
sudo apt install mariadb-client-core-10.6 # version 1:10.6.12-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
"mysql order not found, but it can be installed with:
...
...".
is this the unique solution?
I tried opening it from /opt/lampp/, /opt/lampp/bin/, /opt/lampp/mysql/ and from ~/ and doesn't work
thanks for your attention friends
have a nice day! (or night)

sudo apt install mysql-client-core-8.0 # version 8.0.34-0ubuntu0.22.04.1, or
sudo apt install mariadb-client-core-10.6 # version 1:10.6.12-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

That is plain nonsense, you MUST undo these installations! You cannot run both Xampp and the Linux Mint installation of MariaDB!

Not its not!

You seems to be new to Linux, you MUST not enter "mysql" command without pathname. Either start mysql via full pathname:

Code: Select all

/opt/lampp/bin/mysql

or (as you seems to try) proceed to folder /opt/lampp/bin and start the command properly via:

Code: Select all

./mysql

You CANNOT simply enter "mysql" into a terminal, that is basic linux knowledge, as then the command is searched via your PATH environment variable. But /opt/lampp/bin usually is not part of PATH variable (you may add it, but it is not added per default).
