Installation of the HDFView on Linux Mint

AFAIK the 3.x.y series does no justice to the HDF5 data system: the selection during plotting freezes a most recent I7 4.8GHz processor. From the support portal download HdfView 2.14 for centos 7.0

mkdir /opt/hdfview && cd /opt/hdfview
cp /path-to-download/HDFView-2.14-centos7_64.tar.gz ./
tar -xzf HDFView-2.14-centos7_64.tar.gz
./HDFView-2.14.0-Linux.sh

Accept licence, which is y then the second question:

Do you want to include the subdirectory HDFView-2.14.0-Linux?
Saying no will install in: "/opt/hdfview" [Yn]

is n – as you wish to install it in the directory. To invoke the program: ./HDFView/2.14.0/hdfview.sh
Should be able to view dataset, with a custom compile pHDF5 or serial one…
