I'm newbie to mysql and I want to install mysql under Centos 5.8 using MySQL-server-5.5.37-1.linux2.6.i386.rpm, I use following command to intall mysql

#[root@master software]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-5.5.37-1.linux2.6.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:MySQL-server ########################################### [100%]

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h master password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default. This is
strongly recommended for production servers.

See the manual for more instructions.

Please report any problems at http://bugs.mysql.com/

Then I use following command:

[root@master bin]# pwd
/usr/bin
[root@master bin]# /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password '123456'
bash: mysqladmin: command not found

[root@master bin]# ls mysqladmin
ls: mysqladmin: No such file or directory

[root@master bin]# mysql_secure_installation
Can't find a 'mysql' client in PATH or ./bin

How to install mysql and start mysql? Why are the commands of mysqladmin and mysql_secure_installation fail? I am puzzled with it for many days, I still can't find a solution. Anyone could help me? Thanks.

Thanks.
