* Set *IDEA jdk* created in
[Check Out And Build Community Edition](/basics/checkout_and_build_community.md)
as the default Java SDK:

* Specify your installation folder of *IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition* as the home path.
**Note:**
You may use IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate as an alternative, but the debugging of core code will only work with the *Community Edition*.
* In the Sourcepath tab of the SDK settings, click the `Add` button:

* Specify the directory into which you have checked out the sources of the *Community Edition*:
