I am currently trying to setup reframe on my laptop for a benchmark test of a data pipeline and I am using WSL with Debian (Ubuntu 20.04). I am currently using anaconda to build the reframe by sourcing a shell script from the test’s repository. However I am getting the following error:

$ source share/setup-env.sh

         You may need to explicitly state where your local HDF5 headers and
         library can be found by setting the ``HDF5_DIR`` environment
         variable or by using the ``--hdf5`` command-line option.
      [end of output]

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

I am currently new to WSL and I am not entirely sure how to proceed from here. I tried installing the package using pip and conda (both locally and globally) but I haven’t gotten any results. Any help would be appreciated!
