It seems that I missed one step in the install. This page helped me identifying the missing step

I've double check it, and installed it on Ubuntu 16.04, and saw that it worked.

The full steps are:

1. update your system

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade

2. Install both - mysql client & server

   sudo apt install mysql-server mysql-client

Note: You need to type the password for the MySQL root user:

3. Run mysql_secure_installation to secure your installation

   sudo mysql_secure_installation
