My javaFx program runs in intellij but I cannot compile and run

Question

I have created a JavaFX program in Intellij idea. The program has only two classes named Main.java and Cart.java. When I run Main in Intellij, it works fine and opens the program but when I open it in terminal I get an error at compiling. I first tried javac TopCart.java which gave errors it was not finding my cart class.

I first tried javac TopCart.java which gave errors it was not finding my cart class. Then I tried javac Main.java Cart.java ( I have never had to specify additional class files in intelliJ before) and it compiled but when I attempted to run it I get Error: Could not find or load main class Main

the start of my code is this:

package sample;

import javafx.application.*;
import javafx.stage.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.scene.control.*;


public class Main extends Application {



    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

I am not sure if it has to do with how I have my override statement but it looks like this

 @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage){
        stage = primaryStage;

I am trying to make it run out of command prompt as well as eventually build a jar file that will run it. I would be very grateful of how to fix this and why it is not working. The sample package is the default set by intellij

I found another question similar and was able to run it in command line by changing how I was running it. I was using java Main and needed java sample.Main
