basic .class .jar question?

I am new to the world of Java (in the development sense) and am trying to untangle a little problem, which I think might be classpath-related.
While attempting to run a Java-based application from the command line within a linux environment...
$ java ButtonEncryption
...I receive the following series of error messages...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/bouncycastle/cms/CMSException
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.bouncycastle.cms.CMSException

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320)
Could not find the main class: ButtonEncryption. Program will exit.
...which I have a feeling are "simply" related to the .class (ButtonEncryption.class) not being properly "pathed" to the application's .jar files....
I am learning the ropes - so, I hope I have articulated the issue clearly (and accurately)!
Any thoughts or guidance would be welcomed!
Thank you!
