Seeed Studio libraries

[theincride]

Newb here (using ESP32 for first time). I am not a stranger to Arduino or the IDE as I have done quite a bit in the past. Dipping my toes in here on playing with a Seeed Studio ESP32-C3.

i am trying to compile an example sketch and am getting the following errors..

I am at a loss here on how to correct these. I am running Linux Mint as my OS.

Any ehlp is greatly appreciated.

No module named 'serial'

This shows up on the internet as, "Serial is not included with Python. It is a package that you'll need to install separately. pip install pyserial"

In Arduino IDE terms, it would be like using the Library Manager to install a library.
