Esp-idf commands can be executed using:

• python, Located in: /esp32/idf-tools/python_env/idf5.2_py3.11_env/bin/python
• idf.py, Located in: /esp32/esp-idf/tools/idf.py
• esptool.py, Located in: /esp32/idf-tools/python_env/idf5.2_py3.11_env/bin/esptool.py

idf.py can be invoked in different ways:

$ idf.py <parameters>
$ python -m idf <parameters>

esptool.py can be invoked in different ways:

$ esptool <parameters>
$ python -m esptool <parameters>
