Solution 2

Install the executable files in directories that are in your $PATH or modify your $PATH to include the location where you installed the mysql executables.

Solution 3

That message means that Linux shell (bash in your case) cannot find the mysql executable file (i.e. mysql command folder isn't in the PATH environment variable). You should add its folder (the one where ./mysql works) to the PATH variable (see here[^] for details).
