You can install Boost by downloading the header files, or by using a package manager.

			==Mac OS X==

			On a Mac, use [[Homebrew]]:

			<pre>
			$ brew install boost --with-python && brew install boost-python
			</pre>

			Link: http://brewformulas.org/Boost

			This will put all of the boost header files into <code>/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.63.0/</code>.

Boost is an awesome set of libraries that give you all the functionality you wish C++ had out-of-the-box, plus a whole lot of stuff you never knew you didn't have.

Their "Getting Started" guide is a big help for figuring out how to use Boost libraries: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/more/getting_started/index.html

To boil it down: Boost provides you with a whole bunch of functionality that is primarily provided through header files. This makes the build process trivial (no compiling - just put the header files somewhere), and it makes the compiling process almost as easy (add a

<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
#include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp>
</syntaxhighlight>

to your code, and then add

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
-I/path/to/boost
</syntaxhighlight>

to your compile line).

Alternatively, a list of Boost functionality that requires libraries and compilation (a small subset of Boost) is here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#header-only-libraries
