0. Install the necessary devel libraries for Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install h5utils libhdf5-dev libhdf5-doc
1. Install PIP:
sage -sh
wget https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py;
python get-pip.py
NOTE -- this step 1 is silly -- we should include pip with Sage; sorry
we don't yet.
2. Install hdf5 module, and a few other things you likely want :
sage # start up sage
sage: os.environ['NETCDF4_DIR']='/usr/'; os.environ['HDF5_DIR']='/usr/';
sage: [(s, os.system("pip install %s"%s)) for s in 'pandas
statsmodels h5py netcdf4'.split()]
