IoT Gateway instalation not working

[Richard Wilson]

I am trying to setup the IoT gateway on a Raspberry pi 2.

When I get to the part where I enter " sudo apt-get install python-serial"

I get the following message.

Package python-serial is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python-serial' has no installation candidate

What is the next step I should follow to correct this?

What version of the RPi OS are you using, the older ones are no longer supported.

[Richard Wilson]

Thanks for the response

I am using Raspberry Pi OS 32 bit Debian.

I believe it may have died with python2

Do you have python3 installed   do python -v  to find out  

Try  sudo pip install pyserial    pyserial my notes say replace python-serial
