Compile via Terminal:

1. Navigate into a folder with the .java files

cd SheetX/ExerciseY/
ls
Main.java  File1.java  File2.java

2. Compile the .java files using javac. This results in the creation of the .class files (Bytecode).

javac Main.java File1.java File2.java
ls
Main.java  File1.java  File2.java
Main.class File1.class File2.class

3. Run the program with java and the name of the file containing the main-method

java Main

Arguments can be added after the name of the file. Those are stored in the parameter String[] args of the main-method.

java Main Argument1 Argument2

Using an IDE

Instead of compiling the files via the terminal, an IDE like IntelliJ can be used. This is especially recommended for the exercises with dependencies that are managed via Maven.
