package org.springframework.boot does not exist but not working for me

Question

I am trying to run the spring boot project in IntelliJ, I am facing issues when compiling the code. Detailed explanation below.

**bold**Error below **bold**

` javac StudentApplication.java

StudentApplication.java:6: error: package org.springframework.boot does not exist import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; ^ StudentApplication.java:7: error: package org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure does not exist import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; ^ StudentApplication.java:9: error: cannot find symbol @SpringBootApplication ^ symbol: class SpringBootApplication StudentApplication.java:14: error: cannot find symbol SpringApplication.run( ^ symbol: variable SpringApplication location: class StudentApplication 4 errors `

Below is my StudentApplication.java ' I am getting the error in the SpringApplication.run '

//import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;


import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class StudentApplication {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //ApplicationContext ctx =
        SpringApplication.run(
        StudentApplication.class, args);
    //System.out.println(ctx);
  }
}

Below is my porm.xml ' With the list ' ' '

</project>

I am unable to solve it. Even after adding the dependency in the porm.xml file. Anyone able to help me. If required, I will push git to see the complete code. But please don't close it unnecessarily.`
