I installed percona 5.7 per instructions from the repo on ubuntu 16.04. I want to use mysql\_config\_editor but get

```auto
# mysql_config_editor
The program 'mysql_config_editor' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt install mysql-client-5.7

```

which would replace percona with plain mysql. I wonder, is this tool not available within percona?
