How To Install hdf on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install hdf on CentOS 8.
What is hdf
HDF4 is a general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data. HDF4 can store two primary objects essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is a structure for organizing objects in an HDF4 file. Using these two basic objects, one can create and store almost any kind of scientific data structure, such as images, arrays of vectors, and structured and unstructured grids. You can also mix and match them in HDF4 files according to your needs.
