Run a python and java program from GitHub on my website

My university gave me a homepage, and right now I just uploaded the html files on the server. It has two text areas. What I want is when someone writes some input on the text area and press the button submit the java and python program will run and will modify the text. That modified text will appear in the second textarea. Basically how to run these GitHub programs on my website. Many Thanks

GitHub doesn't run backend languages. You could write your JAVA or Python and store it in GitHub for safe keeping and to work on. But you will need to upload them to a server that's been setup with the right environment to get them working. Universities generally have servers setup to handle these requirements on the intranet. I'd contact your tutor/lecturer to see what's available

That's right. If it's for an assignment your University likely has some servers available to you. Otherwise you can contact your hosting provider and see what server environments are available to you. Or try something like this [https://www.pythonanywhere.com/]

I'm not aware of any. A quick google search will find some I'm sure. Amazon probably have some of their own. I believe AWS is a modular service so they probably have a simple 1 or 2 step process for setting up your environment
