Accesing LAMPP mysql via the command line on linux

I've have installed LAMPP, I need to access MySQL from the terminal but I dont know how, because if I simply type mysql into the prompt it says the mysql program is not installed, but it has to be installed because it stands for Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP + Perl. Thank
