I try to connect to my RDS MySQL instance from an SSH connection to my ec2 server (through PUTTY) as outlined here:
<http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ConnectToInstance.html#USER_ConnectToInstance.CLI>

But I get:

```
-bash: mysql: command not found

```

I think maybe I have to install the MySQL Utility client on my ec2 linux server? If this is the case how do I do this?

I try to run the `mysql` command from my `/home/ec2-user` directory.
