title: mysql.server: command not found
body: <p>I am new to Linux and mysql. I downloaded and installed mysql for linux as directed <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-apt-repo-quick-guide/en/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. </p>
  
  <p>My OS is Linux Mint 17 and I installed <strong>Ubuntu 14.04 LTS</strong> version of mysql. </p>
  
  <p>I executed:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><code>sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.1.5-1ubuntu14.04_all.deb</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>chose <code>mysql-5.6</code> and then executed: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install mysql-server<br/>sudo mysql_install_db</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Now when I try to run <code>mysql.server</code>, it says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mysql.server: command not found</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But when I executed <code>sudo service mysql start</code>, it says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>* A MySQL Server is already started</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Do I have to worry about <code>mysql.server</code> command not being found or should I just ignore it and move on?</p>
  
  <p>This question is different from this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18758614/mysql-server-start-error">one</a> as it pertains to Windows OS.</p>
