Get the version of Boost that you require. This is for 1.55 but feel free to change or manually download yourself (Boost download page):

wget -O boost_1_55_0.tar.gz https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.55.0/boost_1_55_0.tar.gz/download
tar xzvf boost_1_55_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_55_0/

Get the required libraries, main ones are icu for boost::regex support:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev libbz2-dev

Boost's bootstrap setup:

./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local

If we want MPI then we need to set the flag in the user-config.jam file:

user_configFile=`find $PWD -name user-config.jam`
echo "using mpi ;" >> $user_configFile

Find the maximum number of physical cores:

n=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu cores" | uniq | awk '{print $NF}'`

Install boost in parallel:

sudo ./b2 --with=all -j $n install

Assumes you have /usr/local/lib setup already. if not, you can add it to your LD LIBRARY PATH:

sudo sh -c 'echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf'

Reset the ldconfig:

sudo ldconfig

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
