Total Linux Mint beginner here. I got this usb serial adapter cable but I have no idea how to install it in Linux Mint. Can anybody give me an idea where to start?

I wouldn't normally point someone out to another forum, but you need to read this and check yourself
Linux Mint Forums ? View topic - [SOLVED] USB to Serial

Before you plugin the adapter, run
tail -f /var/log/messages
and keep an eye on it, as you plug in the USB adapter.
Now you should be able to figure out what your adapter gets linked to (/dev/something)
Then plugin the serial cable to the device you are trying to have a link with,
and then just use screen:
screen /dev/something
If you haven't got screen yet, just install it:
apt-get install screen
Press enter once or twice and screen will automagically figure out speed and parity.
