Hi, suddenly when running mysqltuner I am getting this error message "Couldn't find mysqladmin/mariadb-admin in your $PATH. Is MySQL installed?".
Any idea what to do there or what could be wrong? It seems like to me this error came out of nowhere.

Unfortunately not.

When I try to run "find / -name mysqladmin -type f" from the website, I am getting this output, and the rest of the website is not giving any clue/hint regarding this issue.

We're running CentOS 7.9, so it might not be the same, but this is what it looks like on our servers:

# ls -l /bin/mysqladmin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 May 21 07:11 /bin/mysqladmin -> mariadb-admin

mariadb-admin is part of MariaDB-client:

MariaDB-client-10.5.13-1.el7.centos.x86_64 : MariaDB: a very fast and robust SQL database server
Repo        : mariadb
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/mariadb-admin

root@server:~# ls -l /bin/mysqladmin
ls: cannot access '/bin/mysqladmin': No such file or directory

That is my output
