I installed MySQL following the documentation, and when I type mysqladmin, it said command not found, what should I do to fix it? or where's mysqladmin?

[stiles]

Try this:

find / -name mysqladmin -print 2> /dev/null

That should give you the path to mysqladmin if it's installed. If that returns nothing maybe you didn't install the client? Don't know for sure.

mysqladmin is in the /bin directory of your mysql installation.

check /usr/local/mysql/bin
