# Download JDK

The FTC SDK does not use the latest version of Gradle, so we need to install a JDK (Java Development Kit) to use it. The SDK uses Gradle 8.7.0, which requires JDK 17.

1. Download the appropriate JDK 17.0.12 installer from here
2. Use the downloaded installer to install the JDK

We are now ready to open Android Studio!
