How to run my program in mac terminal (Intellij)

Question

I have the following Java program in Intellij and I cant seem to figure out how to run the program from my mac terminal (or export everything to run it on a different computer). Currently the only way I can run the program is if I press RUN in the IDE. I assume I need a .jar file but where do I go to compile that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Open your project settings in the upper right corner (or ctrl+alt+shift+s) and go to "Artifacts". Then add Jar -> From modules with dependencies Choose your Module and your Main-class and Submit and apply the project settings

After that you can go to Build -> Build Artifacts -> Build IntelliJ creates the jar inside the "out" folder in your project folder.

(This is for simple Projects. If your project is a bit more complex, you might need more settings.)

Answer 2

@MadProgrammer: Before packaging a Java module into a JAR file, you need to configure an artifact of the type JAR. This artifact can define the output of one or more modules

Once I added the artifact and then build the artifact I am able to run the program via terminal
