Ubuntu – How to install Boost on Ubuntu

boostUbuntu

I'm on Ubuntu, and I want to install Boost. I tried with

sudo apt-get install boost

But there was no such package. What is the best way to install Boost on Ubuntu?

You can use apt-get command (requires sudo)

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

Or you can call

aptitude search boost

find packages you need and install them using the apt-get command.

You want to install the development package, which is libssl-dev:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

You need the SQLite3 development headers for the gem’s native extension to compile against. You can install them by running (possibly with sudo):

apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
