To run a Java program, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install the Java Development Kit (JDK) on your computer to be able to compile and run Java programs.
  2. Write a Java program: Write a Java program using any text editor, saving the file with a .java extension.
  3. Compile a Java program by opening the command prompt or terminal window, navigating to the directory where the Java program is saved, and using the following command.
  4. Compile YourProgramName.java with javac.
  5. Run Java program: After successful compilation, continue to execute the Java program by running the following command in the command prompt or terminal window.
  6. Run your program with the command “java YourProgramName.”

Before running the Java program, make sure it contains a public static void main(String[] args) method as the starting point of the program.
