How can I access MySQL via the command line for EasyPHP DevServer

I am using a book and its example uses a different program.

Basically I have this entered:

C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\binaries\mysql\bin -u root

And I get this error:

"'EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\binaries\mysql\bin' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I've looked around online and haven't found many things, the things I did find require some tinkering around and I don't want to mess something up by accident.. to be honest I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing here. I mean I know the basics of the command line but I don't know how to use it for mySQL. So could someone please assist me? Thanks.

Probably you have missed to write mysql after ".....\bin".
You should try as following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\binaries\mysql\bin\mysql -u root

Or
add C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\binaries\mysql\bin to path environment variable and just use command like bellow:

mysql -u root
