Instructions below demonstrate configuration of OTA on NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module) board. You can use any other board assuming that it meets [requirements](#basic-requirements) described above. Screen captures have been made on Windows 7 and this instruction is valid for all operating systems supported by Arduino IDE. Differnces are minor like for instance name of serial port on Linux and MacOS.

**Note:** Depending on version of platform package and board you have, you may see ``` Upload Using: ``` in the menu above. This option is inactive and it does not matter what you select. It has been left for compatibility with older implementation of OTA and is targeted for removal in platform package version 2.2.0.
