- Mon Nov 17, 2014 5:27 pm #2809 When I call $dpkg -i esptool_0.0.2-1_i386.deb I get the following:

dpkg: error processing archive esptool_0.0.2-1_i386.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
esptool_0.0.2-1_i386.deb

I'm guessing I can get around this by building the tool from source, but I haven't done that before and so I'm a bit unsure where to start. Do I just need to call make, or is there some configuration that needs to be done? Whereabouts should I place the source files before I build them?

sudo dpkg -i /<path to archive directory>/esptool_0.0.2-1_i386.deb

When running under windows I get the following error:

Code: Select allTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\esptool.py", line 22, in <module>
    import serial
ImportError: No module named serial

How do I install the serial module?
