h5py import error on libhdf5_serial.so.100

Question

I have installed raspbian os on raspberry pi 3 model b. I have to perform a project which involves use of h5py.

The os already came preinstalled with python 2.7 and 3.5

With the help of pip, I installed h5py and it was successful, for python 3.5.

ImportError: libhdf5_serial.so.100: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't know how to proceed with this error, can somebody please point out an appropriate way to handle this error?
