I have MySQL 8.0.26 installed but when I type mysqldump in PowerShell I get a The term 'mysqldump' is not recognized error.

When I open up the installer everything is installed.

Back in the day mysqldump would have been in the bin\ directory of a MySQL install but that is no longer the case. Here's C:\Program Files\MySQL:

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Shell 8.0 has a bin directory inside it but no mysqldump inside that bin directory.

Here's C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL:

Is there a more modern way to do SQL dumps these days or something?

You must check inside of the MySQL Server 8.0 directory.

In my case, the mysqldump file is located here: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqldump.exe

It is advisable to add this bin directory to the global PATH variable.
