When I tried this, the `mysqldump` command is not found on the VM:\r\n\r\n```\r\nvcap@6c9de73f-71c3-4201-8df0-292532bfd5e7:~$ which mysqldump\r\nvcap@6c9de73f-71c3-4201-8df0-292532bfd5e7:~$ exit\r\n```\r\n\r\nA workaround is to install mysql on the local machine and just grab the dump from there but the instructions do not mention that. \r\n\r\nThis may trip people up if they can not install `mysqldump` locally."}}
