Error in installing pyhdf using pip command in macos

I am trying to install pyhdf (https://pypi.org/project/pyhdf/) package using pip command in macos terminal, but I am facing the following error:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

This package was easily installed in windows and linux, but not working in macOS. Can anyone please provide a solution to this error?

You are missing the hdf.h header files on your system that are a dependency to build the wheel for pyhdf.

Try brew install hdf5 or brew install hdf

Then pip install pyhdf again.
