How do I run a Kotlin file within the Intellij? Say I have Somefile.kt which has a code like below.

```fun main() {
    println("hello")
}```
I can run it in a terminal using `kotlinc Somefile.kt -include-runtime -d output.jar` and `java -jar output.jar`. But how do I create the configuration to run it within Intellij.

Weird, intelliJ usually shows me a small green "run" triangle in the gutter.

Maybe try adding args ? `fun main(args: Array&lt;String)` or maybe rename Somefile.kt to Main.kt ? or apply the application plugin ?

It does show me the run triangle if I come out of the power saving mode. I am using power saving mode to emulate white board interview kinda scenario.

It turns out there is a right-click option or shortcut to run the files `Ctrl+Shift+F10` to run the code.
