I am using Mac Big Sur terminal.

I have a .java file. I can compile using: javac DeptQuery.java

where it creates the class file within the same directory. But then when I type

java DeptQuery

to run it, it give the error: "Error: Could not find or load main class DeptQuery"

I also can't open the .java file from the terminal, I can only compile it from there.

Is there a package declaration in the java file? – David Conrad Sep 24 '21 at 21:35
Use the command `vi DeptQuery.java` and check if you have a package declaration at the top. – Arvind Kumar Avinash Sep 24 '21 at 21:39
