As an addendum, if the mysql program is not in your PATH, then you need to
type the full path to mysql or enter the directory containing it and type
"./mysql".  If you get back anything other than "command not found" then
mysql is installed AND running.

If this doesn't work you may have MySQL installed, but not running.  To
check if it is running type:

ps aux | grep mysql

If it returns records other than "grep mysql" it's running.
