Edit: I've gotten help to install pip and pyserial, but import serial won't work in my project. Better explained at the end of my post.
I'm trying to install pyserial for a school project.
I think I must have messed something up installing something or changing something before because I'm not really familiar with using the terminal.
Anyways, I've tried lots of different things that haven't worked. When I write
> python3 -m pip search pyserial
I get this exception:

Does anyone have a suggestion to what I could do?
I've downloaded a zip-file with the package also but I don't know how to install it so I'm just as lost.
Thanks for any help!
Thanks to good help I've gotten closer to fixing it I think. I can now find pyserial when i write
pip list
However, when I try to import it in a python file I get this:
ImportError: No module named 'serial'
Is there anything else I need to do to use it in projects besides installing it in terminal? Is it possible I have installed it for use in Python 2 and not Python 3, which is what I am using?
