How to install "pip install pyserial"
#1
Hi, I get an error when I run 'pip install pyserial'.

"ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\python-3.8.1\\Lib\\site-packages\\pyserial-3.5.dist-info'
Consider using the --user option or check the permissions."

I already have path added in the environment variable "C:\Python-3.8.1\Scripts" but I am still getting error to install pyserial.

Now it works. I have installed in another directory.
