Install Python and JDK
In this detailed tutorial, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the installation of the Java Development Kit (JDK) and Python, which are critical for setting up the ESP-IDF development environment.
First, we’ll show you how to download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK) from the official Oracle website. Whether you’re using Windows, macOS, or Linux, JDK is available for all major platforms, and we’ll focus on the Windows version in this video.
Next, we’ll walk you through the process of installing Python. ESP-IDF relies on Python for various tasks, but it’s crucial to use the right version for compatibility. In this tutorial, we’ll download Python 3.11.7, as newer versions like Python 3.13 are not compatible with ESP-IDF 5.3. We’ll cover all the necessary steps to ensure Python is properly set up on your Windows system.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have JDK and Python fully installed and ready to use for ESP32 development.

Launch your browser and navigate to the official Oracle website. The link to the website is provided in the video description. The standard version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) is available for Linux, Windows, and macOS. In this tutorial, we will download the Windows version. After the download is complete, open the installer file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Start by searching for 'Python download Stable Version' in your browser. Navigate to the official Python website, where various versions are available in the Downloads section. Python is essential for many applications to function properly. For example, the ESP-IDF software requires Python to work with Eclipse. However, ESP-IDF version 5.3 is not compatible with Python 3.13. Therefore, we will download an older version of Python, specifically version 3.11.7.
This version is available for both Windows and macOS. We will proceed with the 64-bit Windows version. Download the installer and open the file. During installation, pay attention to the following:
1. Make sure to check the 'Add Python to PATH' option.
2. Leave the installation directory set to the default path without making any changes.
Click 'Install Now' to begin the installation.
When the installation is complete, a window saying 'Setup was successful' will appear. Finally, click the 'Close' button to finish the process.
