I have successfully installed openexr using pip install openexr on my mac, but the same command fails on Ubuntu:

OpenEXR.cpp:9:22: fatal error: ImathBox.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.
  error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

  Failed building wheel for openex

I tried using apt-get install openexr which seems like to install without an error but then when I try to import OpenEXR in python, it doesn't work.

Does anyone know why?

openexr apt-get ubuntu python-import python

Works as recently as Ubuntu 18.04:

sudo apt-get install libopenexr-dev
sudo apt-get install openexr

pip install OpenEXR --user

I solved it using this:

sudo apt-get install openexr,
sudo apt-get install libopenexr-dev,
pip install openexr
