I have a main method but still get an error

I am trying to write a simple program below. 

public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main (String[] args){
        System.out.printIn("Hello, World");
    }
}

I saved the file as "HelloWorld.java" and I navigated to the directory and typed in this command in my terminal javac HelloWorld.java. This created a HelloWorld.class file. I then typed in java HelloWorld in my terminal to run the file and I get this error

"Error: Main method not found in class HelloWorld, please define the main method as: public static void main(String[] args) or a JavaFX application class must extend javafx.application.Application"

So the error message is telling me I don't have a main method inside the class, I have tried a capital M and lowercase m and I would still get the same error. Does anyone know why this is happening?

You needed a lowercase "L" not an upcase "I". If it helps to remember "println" stands for "print line".

// Copy and paste this to correct your error.
System.out.println("Hello, World");

There is a wrong spelling

//System.out.printIn("Hello, World");
System.out.println("Hello, World");

you wrote a capital "I" instead of small "L"
