Reading
In order to read HDF5 files, you will need a suitable library. Here, we describe how to arrange to open compressed HDF5 files in a Python environment.
Installation
- Install HDF5 library
- To install the version from the repository:
- sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev
- In some cases, the repository version may not work (or be out of date). In that case, you can manually download the source from hdfgroup, and install it by doing:
- wget http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.8.15-patch1.tar.gz
- tar xzvf hdf5-1.8.15-patch1.tar.gz
- cd hdf5-1.8.15-patch1/
- make install
- To install the version from the repository:
- If necessary, install dependencies:
- Cython (C extensions for Python)
- sudo apt-get install cython
- python-pkgconfig:
- sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
- wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pkgconfig/pkgconfig-1.1.0.tar.gz
- cd d pkgconfig-1.1.0/
- python setup.py install
- Cython (C extensions for Python)
- Install the h5py package (Python library for HDF5).
- Download and extract tarball (e.g. from [1]).
- wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/h/h5py/h5py-2.5.0.tar.gz
- tar xzvf h5py-2.5.0.tar.gz
- Setup
- cd h5py
- sudo python setup.py install
- Download and extract tarball (e.g. from [1]).
