    Exclamation How can I import my own packages?

    Hello everybody, I'm new here so nice to meet you all
    I made a package in the following direction:
    C:\users\asada\desktop\myPackageName
    and I'm typing some codes in IntelliJ IDEA but when I type the following command at the top of my source code I get an error that says "package myPackageName does not exist"
    import myPackageName.*;
    I wonder if you could help me, thank you for your responses.

    Does the classpath path for the javac command point to the folder that holds the myPackageName folder?


    javac -cp pathToFolderWithPackage;. TheClass.java

    The classpath is a list of one or more directory paths that the javac and java commands will use to find java classes.
    In this command that is issued in the folder that holds the TheClass.java file:

    javac -cp pathToFolderWithPackage;. TheClass.java

    replace pathToFolderWithPackage with the directory path to the folder that holds the myPackageName folder.

    Yes you're right, I saw a video about creating a package on youtube and followed him. If that tutorial is correct so I did create a package.
