Short answer: don’t.

Long answer: a system classpath usually does more harm than good, so you ought not to set it. The JVM/javac/whatever is programmed to look in the “current” directory if there is no system classpath. That is what you usually want. It is a good idea to create a java folder. When you are more advanced and are using jar files from elsewhere, you can use the -cp flag to set a classpath, or you can set a classpath in the manifest file of a jar.

If you can run a HelloWorld program successfully, you will be all right without a classpath, probably for about a year.
