IIRC, the easiest way is to run python setup.py install from the pyserial directory once you've unzipped it. But, take a look at pip or easyinstall, which are both much simpler in the long run than the 'easy way.' – jpaugh Jul 5 '15 at 9:19. Copy itunes library to external drive mac. I downloaded pyserial and tried to install in in the terminal with the following command (Python 3.2.1 and 2.6.1 is installed): sudo python3 setup.py install.
If you are using a Macor Linux computer, the Python is already installed. If you are usingWindows, then you will need to install it. In either case, you willalso need to install the PySerial library to allow communication withthe Arduino.
Install Python on Windows
To install Python on Windows, download the installer from http://www.python.org/getit/.
This project was built using Python 2.7.3
There are some reported problems with PySerial on Windows, using Python 3, so stick to Python 2.
Once Python isinstalled, you will find a new Program Group on your Start menu.However, we are going to make a change to Windows to allow you to usePython from the Command Prompt. You will need this to be able toinstall PySerial.

This will give you afile called: pyserial-2.6.tar.gz
If you are usingwindows you need to uncompress this into a folder. Unfortunately, itis not a normal zip file, so you may need to download a tool such as7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).
If you are using a Macor Linux computer, then open a Terminal session, 'cd' to wherever youdownloaded pyserial-2.6.tar.gz and then issue the following commandto unpack the installation folder.
