I have a new MacBook Pro, with macOS Mojave (iOS 10.14.1).
I downloaded the MySQL Community Server for the Mac, latest version (8.0.13). I opened up the installation package, clicked on it to install.
It walked me through the steps, but I expecting to interact with the configuration section, but I was not prompted for anything, and I got a message that the installation was done.
I thought that at one point, I was going to be prompted to enter root password, etc. It did not happen.
I went to the terminal, and typed mysql. Nothing happened.
Where did the server go, and how do I configure it? It's not in the applications section either (nothing that I can find).

root is your username, and type your password, the password was set at the installation process.
You can add it to the system path
Adding
to the file.
ESC :wq to quit and save it.
Now, you can just type
There is no GUI tool in what you downloaded, If you want a GUI tool, just google it.
If you installed MySQL before, Configuration will skip during installation. If you forget your root password, see this Reset MySQL Root Password
