com.opencsv not found when lauched from console

Question

I have a Maven project that simply reads a CSV file and writes data to another file. When building/running from IntelliJ, it works fine but when I run $ java read.java from the console, it gives

src/main/java/read.java:1: error: package com.opencsv does not exist
import com.opencsv.CSVReader;

Same thing for CSVWriter. I added the .jar to my project but it was not successful. How can I launch my app from console (so I can use arguments as I launch it)?

Thank you

You can put arguments in IntelliJ as well, just edit the run configuration and you should find the ability to add arguments — Niels Bech Nielsen, Oct 20 '20 at 11:26

You just need to add the neccesary jars to the classpath.

For example:

java -cp libs/opencsv-5.2.jar read.java
