title: How do I access the mysql commandline tool with XAMPP VM on mac?
body: <p>I am just beginning to learn about databases and I installed XAMPP on my macBook for that purpose. I would like to use the 'mysql' commandline tool but my installation of XAMPP is ran as a separate VM which means that I don't have a path from /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql available. The closest thing I have been able to find is the path to this root directory :</p>
  
  <p>/Users/kafka/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/volumes/root</p>
  
  <p>which contains a bin folder leading to a mysql file. </p>
  
  <p>/Users/kafka/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/volumes/root/bin/mysql</p>
  
  <p>Could I use that path to run the commandline tool or am I missing something?</p>
