Unable to install hdf5 library from homebrew

I am trying to install the hdf5 library from Homebrew. Running brew install hdf5 in the terminal returns the following error message:

==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
Error: No available formula or cask with the name "hdf5".
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.

I am running this on a mac with Mojave version 10.14.6. What next steps should I try to download the hdf5 library?

It seems that at least part of my Homebrew download was in the wrong location. Running brew doctor, I got Warning: Homebrew/homebrew-core was not tapped properly!. This was fixed by running rm -rf "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core" and then brew tap homebrew/core.
