How can I install python xlrd module?

The easiest way is to use the pip tool which will download and install the module for you. First of all you need to open a root terminal and then type following command:

pip install xlrd

if all runs well (i hope so), you will get this message "Successfully installed xlrd". If you get a "Permission denied" error, it means that you are not logged as root.

To make sure has been installed correctly, type following command, which will show you the version of the xlrd module:

python -c "import xlrd; print xlrd.__VERSION__"
