  <p>
   After the data directory is initialized and you have started the
      server, perform some simple tests to make sure that it works
      satisfactorily. This section assumes that your current location is
      the MySQL installation directory and that it has a
   <code class="filename">
    bin
   </code>
   subdirectory containing the MySQL
      programs used here. If that is not true, adjust the command path
      names accordingly.
  </p>
  <a class="indexterm" name="idm46045326753360">
  </a>
  <a class="indexterm" name="idm46045326752272">
  </a>
  <p>
   Alternatively, add the
   <code class="filename">
    bin
   </code>
   directory to your
   <code class="literal">
    PATH
   </code>
   environment variable setting. That enables
      your shell (command interpreter) to find MySQL programs properly,
      so that you can run a program by typing only its name, not its
      path name. See
   <a class="xref" href="setting-environment-variables.html" title="6.2.9 Setting Environment Variables">
    Section 6.2.9, “Setting Environment Variables”

      running. The following commands provide simple tests to check
      whether the server is up and responding to connections:

   If you cannot connect to the server, specify a
   <code class="option">
    -u
      root
   </code>
   option to connect as
   <code class="literal">
    root
   </code>
   . If you
      have assigned a password for the
   <code class="literal">
    root
   </code>
   account
      already, you'll also need to specify
   <code class="option">
    -p

   on the
      command line and enter the password when prompted. For example:
