Hi @AnandGautam i do not have .lib and .bin folders in my project — Krish, Jan 24 '22 at 13:40
For example: java -cp "*C:/Users/msdfg/Auto/selenium-automation/external/tools/*; C:/Users/msdfg/Auto/selenium-automation/external/jars/*" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml — Krish, Jan 24 '22 at 13:46

I saw your comment

I do not have .lib and .bin folders in my project

if you do not have one, then you will have to create one.

Once the TestNG plugin is downloaded from Eclipse marketplace.

After adding TestNG to your project library create one folder in your Project names as lib ( name can be anything ) :
Go to "C:\Program Files\Eclipse\eclipse-java-mars-R-win32-x86_64\eclipse\plugins" location and copy com.beust.jcommander_1.72.0.jar and org.testng_6.14.2.r20180216145.jar file to created folder (lib).

Note: Files are testng.jar and jcommander.jar

Now Launch CMD, and navigate to your project directory and then type :
Java -cp C:\Users\User123\TestNG\lib*;C:\Users\User123\TestNG\bin org.testng.TestNG testng.xml

That's it !
