php command missing from ubuntu 18.04

I have Ubuntu 18.04 bionic installed on my machine. It came pre-installed from the manufacturer ( System 76 ) with:

• apache2 2.4.29
• php 7.2
• mysql 5.7 ( both server and client )
• nodejs 8:10
• git 2.17.1

I am trying to install CiviCRM, which requires that the commands php, node, mysql, mysqldump, be executable from the shell command line ( I use bash).

Searching, I could not find executables with these names or symlinks to them anywhere in the usual places ( e.g usr/bin, /bin ). If I knew the pathnames of the executables above I could set my PATH to include their directories. Does anybody have any insight into this?

I found that the pre-installed packages where broken. The solution was to reinstall all of the packages with:sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename
