How to install Apache poi on IntelIJ Idea?

Question

Java

Hello. Please tell me where to find the installation guide for apache poi on IntelIJ Idea. The purpose of the installation is to copy text data from an XML file into an Excel spreadsheet. I do not compile the project, but compile it (compiler - javac). Already tried to google and looked at Stackoverflow and Toster'e.

Apache POI is a library, which means that it should not be installed, but connected, and not to the IDE, but to the project.
There are essentially only 2 options:
1) Download the archive and include the necessary jar files manually via Project Structure > Libraries...
2) Connect the library via maven by simply adding dependencies to pom.xml (another thing is that if you don't have maven' but, then this is a separate story with their dances to tambourines).
