在哪里保存jar的项目？

Question

I'm knew to the stackoverflow community so forgive me if I'm doing this wrong.

I have a java project that I'm building [using itellij], where I am using an API with a jar I downloaded. What is the best way to add the jar to the project so a user (or another programmer) can just open it and not have to download the jar? Or if I was to deploy the program, how would I include the jar so it could be run with the necessary jars? Currently I have made a separate folder named jars and load it from there.
