A few months ago, I installed XAMPP on a Linux computer I've been using. I've been using it for a project, and it works perfectly, but I don't seem to be able to access mysql from the command line, even though I can accsess my databases perfectly fine from phpMyAdmin. I've tried using the mysql phrase, along with the mysql -u root -p phrase, but neither yield anything, as I only get the following error:
Command 'mysql' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install mysql-client-core-8.0 # version 8.0.22-0ubuntu0.20.04.3, or
sudo apt install mariadb-client-core-10.3 # version 1:10.3.25-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
I was under the impression that, by installing XAMPP for Linux, it would come with mysql. I know you can access the prompt using /opt/lampp/bin/mysql -u root -p, but I keep thinking there must be an easier way to access it. Is this not the case, or am I doing something wrong?
