I am trying to install tables package in Ubuntu 14.04 but sems like it is complaining.

I am trying to install it using PyCharm and its package installer, however seems like it is complaining about HDF5 package.

However, seems like I cannnot find any hdf5 package to install before tables.

Could anyone explain the procedure to follow?

I found that installing the libhdf5-serial-dev with

  sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev

did the trick.
