Actually you don t need  install  or  compile  anything before using Boost in your project  You can just download and extract the Boost library to any location on your machine  which is usually like  usr local    When you compile your code  you can just indicate the compiler where to find the libraries by -I  For example  g   -I  usr local boost 1 59 0 xxx hpp
