[FIXED] How to run javafx applications in intellij idea IDE

Issue

I am trying to run JavaFX application but there is showing the following error

Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application

Until this step, I could not import the JavaFX, and I have done it from /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

Can someone help to solve this error?

Thanks beforehand. By the way, I am using lubuntu operating system

• Click on + button
• Locate ..\openjfx-11.0.1_windows-x64_bin-sdk\javafx-sdk-11.0.1\lib folder from extracted zip of openJFX 11
