Look in /usr/local/mysql/bin.  If it's not in there do a locate -u as 
root, than locate mysqld_safe.  The command line tool will be in the 
directory it returns.

I suggest getting phpMyAdmin if you are planning on just using the 
databases and don't care about learning any of the command line 
functions of mysql.

Most of all, refer to the mysql documentation on mysql.com to learn 
about the command line and for more detailed help.
