Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install hdf5 on Fedora 34.

What is `hdf5`

HDF5 is a general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data. HDF5 can store two primary objects essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is a structure for organizing objects in an HDF5 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 HDF5 files according to your needs. hdf5 1.10.6 5.fc34 x86_64 2.0 M hdf5-1.10.6-5.fc34.src.rpm fedora A general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data https BSD HDF5 is a general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data.
