Error "could not find or load main class" when trying to run MatSim from the terminal

I am new to MatSim and have downloaded the main distribution. When I try to run commands e.g.

java -cp path/to/matsim tutorial.programming.example08DemandGeneration.RunPPopulationGenerator

I get the error "could not find or load main class"

I have tried this with a few different commands and always get the same error. What might be causing this?

Do you have the libs folder in the same folder as the jar file?
