Answer 1

You have to add the library in your classpath. If you use maven or gradle you can simply add it as a dependency.

Answer 2

As said above, you need to add the Jackson library before you can import it in your project. If you have a maven project, simply visit the library page Jackson-databind repo. page and copy/paste the XML into your .POM file.

Otherwise, if it is a regular java project, use to Ctr+Alt+Shift+S to visit project structure on IntelliJ IDEA, click on libraries, and then click + to add groupId, artifactId, VersionId in the text input popup. See the example below. Manually add the library

Note that versionID may differ depending on when you visit the page
