When I try to start MySQL from a Linux Mint 20.3 terminal, it returns this:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

I cannot find any configuration file that points to that address.

How does MySQL know to look there?

The mysql daemon hasn't been started

sudo systemctl start mysql

if you want it to be automatically started after each reboot, then run this:

sudo systemctl enable mysql

That still doesn't answer my question. 

What directs MySQL to look to var/run/mysqld to locate the socket file?

On my system:

$cd /etc/mysql
$ grep sock *.cnf */*.cnf

mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf:# socket	= /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

But I think its a compiled in default. That can be changed there.
