When I tried to install p5.serialserver in my Mac I got the next errors:

Error, I could could not solved it, the server is not working, any idea?

Looks like it is a permissions error.

Can you try again with sudo?

sudo npm install p5.serialserver

I think that is looking for a version of serial port that is not supported

node-pre-gyp http GET https://github.com/EmergingTechnologyAdvisors/node-serialport/releases/download/4.0.7/serialport-v4.0.7-node-v57-darwin-x64.tar.gz

I think that the serial-port version is not updated so is not possible to download it

"dependencies": {
    "serialport": "^4.0.3",
    "ws": "^1.1.1"
  },

I could run it in the next way

1. Install serial-port with

   npm install serialport

   I installed this in a locally way

2. Downloading p5.serialcontrol

   Rename the folder with the name of p5.serialserver

3. Paste it in the node_modules folder that was created with the installation of serial-port

4. open a terminal an run

   ~/node_modules/p5.serialserver/startserver.js
