I am trying to install mysql on a virtual machine (Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit). I carefully followed the instruction on the website: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-apt-repo-quick-guide/en/#repo-qp-apt-install-from-source
I followed just the first part: 'Steps for a Fresh Installation of MySQL'
It went perfectly, I could start and stop mysql.
Then I jumped to the section: Postinstallation Setup and Testing https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/data-directory-initialization.html
There, already at the first step, it's speaking about a directory that I don't find. More precisely, I don't find anywhere a directory that has /bin/mysqld
/bin/mysqld is needed at point 4 in the 'Data directory initialization' section.
I installed it and removed it many times. Right now it's just removed, so I can't give more information. In case somebody needs more info I will gladly reinstall it as before.
Any kind of help is welcome, thanks.
