macOS: zsh: command not found: mysqldump

Question

I hope, it's the right forum for this question. But since there exist a mysqldump tag I think so.

I'm using a Mac with macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H524).

Since I reinstalled Homebrew and therefore also deleted some folders, mysqldump isn't working any more. I always get the following error message:

zsh: command not found: mysqldump

Is it possible that I removed mysqldump by mistake? How can I make it working?

No, this question has nothing to do with programming, therefore it is off topic here on SO. DBA or superuser sister sites of SO deal with such question on tools. — Shadow, Mar 17 '21 at 12:29

I finally found the solution:

First I detected the path of mysqldump with the following command:

locate mysqldump

This gave me: /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqldump

Now, I can simply call /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqldump instead of just mysqldump in Terminal.
