General error : 'mysqldump' is not recognized as an internal or external command


I'm trying to backup from my Laravel application using Spatie package but when running backup:run commend I get this error:

Backup failed because The dump process failed with exitcode 1 : General error : 'mysqldump' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

How do I solve this on localhost and production?
