They are intended to be useful for a wide variety of applications and portable. Boost just makes life easier, here is how to install it on Linux. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Installing Boost using a package manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to install Boost is with your built-in package manager. It takes care of the installation of all of the dependencies and is more likely to be using a very stable version of the library. Also, there is the added benefit of it being easy to remove if you no longer want it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Apt (Debian, Ubuntu, Pop OS, etc)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On most Debian based systems, you can install all of the Boost libraries with a single command. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\" data-enlighter-theme=\"\" data-enlighter-highlight=\"\" data-enlighter-linenumbers=\"\" data-enlighter-lineoffset=\"\" data-enlighter-title=\"\" data-enlighter-group=\"\">apt-get install libboost-all-dev<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3>DNF (Fedora, etc)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The newer versions of Fedora now use Dandified Yum, instead of just regular yum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\" data-enlighter-theme=\"\" data-enlighter-highlight=\"\" data-enlighter-linenumbers=\"\" data-enlighter-lineoffset=\"\" data-enlighter-title=\"\" data-enlighter-group=\"\">dnf install boost-devel<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3>Yum (Centos, older versions of Fedora, etc)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\" data-enlighter-theme=\"\" data-enlighter-highlight=\"\" data-enlighter-linenumbers=\"\" data-enlighter-lineoffset=\"\" data-enlighter-title=\"\" data-enlighter-group=\"\">yum install boost-devel<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2>Manual Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you require a different version of it than the one that is provided by your package manager, you can easily compile and install it manually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Dependencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boost has very few dependencies. You mainly need just a C++ compiler and make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>C++ compiler (g++, clang++, etc)<\/li><li>make<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With that out of the way, let&#8217;s get to the installation, do keep in mind that you will need to set the change the first few environment variables to what you would like them to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\" data-enlighter-theme=\"\" data-enlighter-highlight=\"\" data-enlighter-linenumbers=\"\" data-enlighter-lineoffset=\"\" data-enlighter-title=\"\" data-enlighter-group=\"\">export MAJOR_VERSION=1\nexport MINOR_VERSION=70\nexport PATCH_VERSION=0\nwget https:\/\/dl.bintray.com\/boostorg\/release\/${MAJOR_VERSION}.${MINOR_VERSION}.${PATCH_VERSION}\/source\/boost_${MAJOR_VERSION}_${MINOR_VERSION}_${PATCH_VERSION}.tar.gz\ntar -xzf boost_${MAJOR_VERSION}_${MINOR_VERSION}_${PATCH_VERSION}.tar.gz\ncd boost_${MAJOR_VERSION}_${MINOR_VERSION}_${PATCH_VERSION}\n.\/bootstrap.sh\n.\/b2 install -j$(nproc)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should now have successfully installed Boost on your machine.
