java.sql.SQLException: Unable to load class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

I want to be able to connect a program of mine to a database. But since I have never worked with databases before I am following a tutorial found here: https://www.javacodegeeks.com/2016/03/springboot-working-jdbctemplate.html. After following all the steps (to the best of my knowledge) of the tutorial I get the following stack trace:

Is anyone familiar with this type of error? It's probably something pretty simple. The IDE I am using is IntelliJ. I have put my code below:

For folks who are building a datasource manually, besides loading the mysql-connector-dependency, ensure that the driver class name is set correctly.

DataSourceFactory factory = new DataSourceFactory();
factory.setUrl("..");
factory.setUser("..");
factory.setDriverClass("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); //Important
...
DBI dbi = new DBI(factory.build(new MetricRegistry(), "mysql"));

Otherwise, DataSourceFactory.driverClass instance field gets set to "". When the application class loader tries to load a class with a name of "", it will throw a ClassNotFoundException
