problem installing and compling in JavaFX

Question

I am trying to install JavaFX and in particular just run this application . I've been using Java for a while and I have to compile from console since IntelliJ just won't load in my laptop. Whenever I try compiling with "javac HelloFX.java" I get a lot of errors and in particular error: package javafx.application does not exist . This is what my java folder looks like

Java Folder

I also already set up a path C:\Program Files\Java\javafx-sdk-18.0.1\lib

I really have no clue as to what I am doing wrong, and the solutions I've been able to find seem rather complex, or use IntelliJ tools. Thank you in advance.

Even if IntelliJ does not work for you, you could still use either Maven or Gradle to build your project which would already simplify things a lot. You should also have a look at the official documentation. https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/
