How to install Boost¶
From PyPI¶
$ pip3 install boost
From sources¶
You need at least Python 3.4.
On some Linux Distribution setuptools package does not come with default python install, you need to install it.
Install PIP:
$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -O - | sudo python3
Install setuptools module:
$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo python3
(Alternatively, Setuptools may be installed to a user-local path):
$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | python3 - --user
Untar the tarball and go to the source directory with the following commands:
$ tar zxvf boost-0.1.tar.gz $ cd boost
Next, to install Boost on your computer, type the following command with the root user:
$ python3 setup.py install $ # or $ python3 setup.py install --install-scripts=/usr/bin
