IntelliJ - No out folder

Issue

This might be a trivial question, but i can't solve it. I have cloned a git repository, where the "out" folder was excluded (As it's supposed to), but i can't run the code.

It gives me an error called

"Error:java: /production/nameOfProject: does not exist"

I have narrowed the problem down to something with the project structure, and i have specified my "src" folder as the source folder, but i don't know what to do about the "paths"-section. Can't i get intelliJ to create the out folders automatically?

A temporary work around is to create the project again and import the modules, and here intelliJ creates the "out" folders, and the code compiles, but that can't be the right way.

This is how my intelliJ project structure modules look, if that helps: http://imgur.com/a/uc6Fa

Thank you.

Solution

I solved this by cloning the repository, and then i choose to "create a new project from existing sources", and picked the cloned repository. intellij even discovered the src-folders itself.
