Installed Mysql but Command Is Not Found

I just installed MySQL server on my Ubuntu laptop, but looks like that "mysql" command in the terminal does not work properly.

Looks like that MySQL is not installed in "usr/bin" folder. How can I install MySQL is "usr/bin" folder?

I would appreciate any help.

Installation command:

sudo apt install mysql-server

What I tried:

mysql

and

sudo mysql -u root -p

I'm getting an error message like down below:

Command 'mysql' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo service mysql status output:

mysql.service - MySQL Community Server
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mysql.service; enabled; vendor preset:>

     Memory: 393.7M
     CGroup: /
             └─1031 /usr/sbin/mysqld

whereis mysql output:

mysql: /usr/lib/mysql /etc/mysql

which mysql doesn't do anything

Edit:

mysql-client is installed.
