-bash: TreeStory: command not found (RESOLVED)

FOUND SOLUTION! at the console i was typing "clear && javac TreeStory.java && TreeStory" and what i should have been typing is "clear && javac TreeStory.java && java TreeStory" I forgot the "java" so if you get a -bash error check your spelling of what you type in your console... Total newbie mistake, just needed to re watch some of the videos...

Original question: Hey guys, I am somewhat a newbie but eager to learn, this might be a dumb questions but, could some one tell me what i am doing wrong. when i clear and compile and run the program i get "-bash: TreeStory: command not found " below is all the text from java. I have re watched the video a few times and cannot find what im doing wrong, also i am not sure what "-bash" means exactly. Thank you for any advice in advance!

import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    /*  Some terms:
        noun - Person, place or thing
        verb - An action
        adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
        Enter your amazing code here!
    */
  // __Name__ is a __adjective__ __noun__. They are always __adverb__ __verb__.
    String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you?");
    int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
    if (age < 13) {
      //insertt exit code
    console.printf("Sorry you must be atleast 13 to use this program.\n");
    System.exit(0);
    }
    String name = console.readLine("Enter a name:  ");
    String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:  ");
    String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun:  ");
    String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:  ");
    String verb = console.readLine("Enrer a verb ending in -ing:  ");

    console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n------------\n");
    console.printf("%s is a %s %s.  ", name, adjective, noun);
    console.printf("%s is very %s", name, adjective);
    console.printf("They are alwasy %s %s.\n  ", adverb, verb);
}

}
