The error you are getting is because there is a space between Introduction. and java
However, you will get a "could not find or load" error if you use java Introduction.java because you need to use javac and the name of the java file is Introductions.java with an s.
When we compile with the javac command we write out the entire filename with its extension. However, when we run our compiled byte code with the java command, we do not include the extension.
treehouse:~/workspace$ javac Introductions.java
treehouse:~/workspace$ java Introductions
