MYSQL Workbench cannot find command line client

[oatly93]

Hey!

I'm trying to execute a very simple command from MySQL Workbench in Linux Mint. Connection to the server seems OK and the server is running. However, when I try to run a code I get:

"mysql command line client not found. Please fix its path in Preferences -> Administration"

But when I try to select the path /usr/bin/mysql from Administration I cannot even access the /usr path, I get 'permission denied'.
I tried playing around with apparmor, stopping the service to see if that was the case, but no results so far.
I already posted in stack overflow, but I'm wondering if this is more of a Linux Mint issue....
Thanks!

Howdy.

How did you install MySQL?

If you do a search for that error message you get a ton of hits, including this one:

How did you install MySQL?

The workbench I did a snap. Server and client are installed through apt-get install Googled quite a bit before posting, but still cannot find anything relevant...
I can access the client easily through the command line, but I cannot point the Workbench application to that directory (or at least what I think it's the directory, /usr/bin/mysql) because every time I click on /usr it says permission denied...

UPDATE:
I tried opening from the command line using the command: sudo mysql-workbench-community and I get the following output:
