How to check if HDF5 is installed?

You can try running h5cc -showconfig:

SUMMARY OF THE HDF5 CONFIGURATION
        =================================

General Information:

           HDF5 Version: 1.8.12

The actual name of the hdf5 installation package is "libhdf5-dev" (not "hdf5"). Running the following command should return package information.

dpkg -s libhdf5-dev

If that doesn't give any results, you can check for any hdf5 installation by doing:

dpkg -l | grep hdf5
