install HDF5 and pytables in ubuntu

I found that installing the libhdf5-serial-dev with

  sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev

did the trick.

python ubuntu-14.04 hdf5 pytables

Search for the HDF5 library in the ubuntu package repository.

apt-cache search hdf5

The command will show the packages relating to hdf5.

install the relevant package to you.

sudo apt-get install package-name.

mostly you have to install the hdf5-tools, h5utils, python-tables.

python ubuntu-14.04 hdf5 pytables

Try to install libhdf5-7 and python-tables via apt
