I ran into an error when installing carputils on macOS Monterey 12.3.1, using Python 3.10.
The error is not directly linked with carputils, but occurs when trying to install the Python package tables.

.. ERROR:: Could not find a local HDF5 installation.
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.
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
The installation of tables fails if HDF5 is not available on the system. See the answer above for a solution that worked for me.
