Cannot install h5py

I'm trying to install h5py, but when I do pip install h5py or use python setup.py install from the source code, fatal error:
hdf5.h: No such file or directory.
Other posts mention to do pip install libhdf5-dev or pip install libhdf5-serial-dev to resolve this, but it says "no matching distribution found."
How can I install h5py? I am ssh'd into an Odyssey computer using the CentOS 6.5 version of the Linux. Also, I do not have sudo privileges. Thanks!

Your error is because you are missing the hdf5.h header, pip will not install the development headers, you need to install them using your package manager, on Centos it would be:
yum install hdf5-devel
If you look at the installation instrcutions:
Source installation on Linux and OS X
You need, via apt-get, yum or Homebrew:
Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, or 3.4 with development headers (python-dev or similar)
HDF5 1.8.4 or newer, shared library version with development headers (libhdf5-dev or similar)
NumPy 1.6.1 or later

This link helped:
https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/23144
I installed LinuxHomeBrew and did:
brew tap homebrew/science
brew install hdf5
pip install h5py
I was able to install h5py!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-h5py
(Source)

Also, not pip install libhdf5-dev or pip install libhdf5-serial-dev, but apt install libhdf5-dev and apt install libhdf5-serial-dev.
Then, run pip install h5py

Running the below fixed my problem as I had an error related to xlocale.h
sudo ln -s /usr/include/locale.h /usr/include/xlocale.h

How can I install a specific version of pip via easy-install? - Mac OS Mavericks

I am constantly getting the
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
whenever I try to pip install anything with the most recent pip version.
I read on some other questions that pip was having SSL related issues in its latest version and recommended to install pip 1.2.1.
How do I install a specific version of pip via easy_install for example?

You should be able to install pip with pip:
pip install --upgrade pip==1.2.1

Based on your context, you can uninstall as above and then run:
sudo easy_install pip==1.2.1
No more pesky SSL errors.

Uninstall any previous installation of pip. Considering you are using system wide installation,
sudo apt-get remove python-pip
and also,
pip uninstall pip
Now,
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip==<specific version>
sudo pip install virtualenv
It's preferred to use virtual environment though.

Install line 'pip install scipy' fails [duplicate]

It is possible to install NumPy with pip using pip install numpy.
Is there a similar possibility with SciPy? (Doing pip install scipy does not work.)
Update
The package SciPy is now available to be installed with pip!

Prerequisite:
sudo apt-get install build-essential gfortran libatlas-base-dev python-pip python-dev
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
Actual packages:
sudo pip install numpy
sudo pip install scipy
Optional packages:
sudo pip install matplotlib OR sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
sudo pip install -U scikit-learn
sudo pip install pandas
src

An attempt to easy_install indicates a problem with their listing in the Python Package Index, which pip searches.
easy_install scipy
Searching for scipy
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/scipy/
Reading http://www.scipy.org
Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=27747&package_id=19531
Reading http://new.scipy.org/Wiki/Download
All is not lost, however; pip can install from Subversion (SVN), Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar repositories. SciPy uses SVN:
pip install svn+http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy/trunk/#egg=scipy
Update (12-2012):
pip install git+https://github.com/scipy/scipy.git
Since NumPy is a dependency, it should be installed as well.

In Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), I could successfully pip install scipy (within a virtualenv) after installing some of its dependencies, in particular:
$ sudo apt-get install libamd2.2.0 libblas3gf libc6 libgcc1 libgfortran3 liblapack3gf libumfpack5.4.0 libstdc++6 build-essential gfortran libatlas-sse2-dev python-all-dev

To install scipy on windows follow these instructions:-
Step-1 : Press this link http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy to download a scipy .whl file (e.g. scipy-0.17.0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl).
Step-2: Go to the directory where that download file is there from the command prompt (cd folder-name ).
Step-3: Run this command:
pip install scipy-0.17.0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

I tried all the above and nothing worked for me. This solved all my problems:
pip install -U numpy
pip install -U scipy
Note that the -U option to pip install requests that the package be upgraded. Without it, if the package is already installed pip will inform you of this and exit without doing anything.

If I first install BLAS, LAPACK and GCC Fortran as system packages (I'm using Arch Linux), I can get SciPy installed with:
pip install scipy

On Fedora, this works:
sudo yum install -y python-pip
sudo yum install -y lapack lapack-devel blas blas-devel
sudo yum install -y blas-static lapack-static
sudo pip install numpy
sudo pip install scipy
If you get any public key errors while downloading, add --nogpgcheck as parameter to yum, for example:
yum --nogpgcheck install blas-devel
On Fedora 23 onwards, use dnf instead of yum.

For the Arch Linux users:
pip install --user scipy prerequisites the following Arch packages to be installed:
gcc-fortran
blas
lapack

Addon for Ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)):
The repository moved, but a
pip install -e git+http://github.com/scipy/scipy/#egg=scipy
failed for me... With the following steps, it finally worked out (as root in a virtual environment, where python3 is a link to Python 3.2.2):
install the Ubuntu dependencies (see elaichi), clone NumPy and SciPy:
git clone git://github.com/scipy/scipy.git scipy
git clone git://github.com/numpy/numpy.git numpy
Build NumPy (within the numpy folder):
python3 setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95
Install SciPy (within the scipy folder):
python3 setup.py install

In my case, it wasn't working until I also installed the following package : libatlas-base-dev, gfortran
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev gfortran
Then run pip install scipy

install python-3.4.4
scipy-0.15.1-win32-superpack-python3.4
apply the following commend doc
py -m pip install --upgrade pip
py -m pip install numpy
py -m pip install matplotlib
py -m pip install scipy
py -m pip install scikit-learn

The answer is yes, there is.
First you can easily install numpy use commands:
pip install numpy
Then you should install mkl, which is required by Scipy, and you can download it here
After download the file_name.whl you install it
C:\Users\****\Desktop\a> pip install mkl_service-1.1.2-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl
Processing c:\users\****\desktop\a\mkl_service-1.1.2-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl
Installing collected packages: mkl-service
Successfully installed mkl-service-1.1.2
Then at the same website you can download scipy-0.18.1-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl
Note:You should download the file_name.whl according to you python version, if you python version is 32bit python3.5 you should download this one, and the "win32" is about your python version, not your operating system version.
Then install file_name.whl like this:
C:\Users\****\Desktop\a>pip install scipy-0.18.1-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl
Processing c:\users\****\desktop\a\scipy-0.18.1-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl
Installing collected packages: scipy
Successfully installed scipy-0.18.1
Then there is only one more thing to do: comment out a specfic line or there will be error messages when you imput command "import scipy".
So comment out this line
from numpy._distributor_init import NUMPY_MKL # requires numpy+mkl
in this file: your_own_path\lib\site-packages\scipy__init__.py
Then you can use SciPy :)
Here tells you more about the last step.
Here is a similar anwser to a similar question.

Besides all of these answers,
If you install python of 32bit on your 64bit machine, you have to download scipy of 32-bit irrespective of your machine.
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
In the above URL you can download the packages and command is: pip install

For gentoo, it's in the main repository:
emerge --ask scipy

You can also use this in windows with python 3.6 python -m pip install scipy

How to install libjpeg?

I tried these commands:
pip install libjpeg8-dev
pip install libjpeg-dev
pip install libjpeg-devel
pip install libjpeg
pip install libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev
but none of them works. What is the right command with pip?

Use apt-get. As a side note, I was getting errors installing pillow and these commands helped me
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev

libjpeg is not a python module and pip won't ever be able to install it.
Use your Operating System's packaging system to install it. On Ubuntu and Debian that'd be apt, for example.

I used homebrew to install that!
brew install libjpeg
Hope that helps

Actually I use Heroku and the problem therefore is more complicated. Here is a solution.
EDIT: but attempts to use both hg- and git-based variants failed with various errors. Damn!

How can I install python-iso8601_0.1.4-2_all.deb on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)

I am using Ubuntu 10.04, which supports Python up to version 2.6.5.
However, I need to install the package python-iso8601_0.1.4-2_all.deb,
which depends on python (>= 2.6.6-7~).
I can not upgrade the distro, since I am using some other packages
which are not supported in 10.10+
Thank you!
/Nico.

Thats likely to break far too many things. You are better of installing the ISO 8601 package as an egg from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/iso8601/ for example.

Install pip:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv
and then install your package:
sudo pip install iso8601
