====== Installing of HDF5 on Linux ======

\\
If you have <color darkorange>sudo</color> rights, you can install HDF5 using your OS package manager, such as <color darkorange>apt</color> in the case of Debian-like distros:
\\
<code>
sudo apt install libhdf5-dev hdf5-tools
</code>
\\
Otherwise you need to build HDF5 from its sources, which you can download from [[https://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/hdf5-1.10/hdf5-1.10.6/src/hdf5-1.10.6.tar.gz|here]] 
\\
Decompress them, then run the following commands:
<box round>
./configure\\
make\\
sudo make install
</box>

If you want to specify where to install the software.
Replace:
<box round>
./configure
</box> 

by
<box round>
<nowiki> ./configure --prefix=<install-path></nowiki>
</box>
Where <install-path> is the absolute path to the directory where you want to install HDF5.
