Linux Error When Installing Keras

I am getting this strange to me error when installing Keras on an Ubuntu server: Cythonizing /tmp/easy_install-qQggXs/h5py-2.5.0/h5py/utils.pyx In file included from /usr/local/lib

Solution 1:

You need to install the hdf5 package to get the headers you need.

Solution 2:

Real Error is :

"In file included from /tmp/easy_install-qQggXs/h5py-2.5.0/h5py/defs.c:287:0: /tmp/easy_install-qQggXs/h5py-2.5.0/h5py/api_compat.h:27:18: fatal error: hdf5.h: No such file or directory #include "hdf5.h" "

This error says that header file hdf5.h is missing.

Run the following command to install header file:

sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev

Please note that to install h5py package, run following command :

sudo pip install h5py

Hope this solves your problem
