Hi sarkar,

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__"


Best regards

For version 9, this breaks CSV import for me. I've logged this at https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/10199

Mustafa has provided the solution in my case. The only additional information is 

 after downloading and extracting the XLRD, you will run:

sudo python3.6 setup.py install  and not sudo python3.5 setup.py install
