MySQL Client connection xampp in MySQL

The XAMPP is green and does not boot automatically. Even in Linux, I like Green software.

How do I use MySQL client to connect directly to XAMPP MySQL?

First install mysql-client in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install mysql-client

To start MySQL in XAMPP:

Sudo/opt/lampp/lampp Startmysql

At this point, if the direct connection will be error:

ERROR 2002:can ' t connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock ' (2)

Workaround:

sudo mkdir/var/run/mysqld

sudo ln-s/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Connect again:

Mysql-hlocalhost-uroot-p

Connected, problem solved.
