When installing with a clean standard, full or custom installation (specifically including Serial that was the only optional component),

but Serial library is nowhere available in the program

when importing it with import processing.serial.*;
i get this error:

The package “processing.serial” does not exist. You might be missing a library.

No library found for processing.serial
Libraries must be installed in a folder named 'libraries' inside the sketchbook folder (see the Preferences window).
The package “processing.serial” does not exist. You might be missing a library.

Steps to reproduce this

  1. install processing with same build making sure to include Serial

  2. import Serial and run
