# Boost

The Boost libraries provide a wide range of functionality. These are used to supplement functionality not in the Standard Library or for portability reasons.

System | Package
--- | ---
BSD Ports | devel/boost-all
Debian/Ubuntu | libboost-all-dev*
Homebrew | boost
RedHat/CentOS | boost-devel†

*
  Ubuntu 14.04 users should install `libboost1.55-all-dev` rather than the generic package, to build with Boost 1.55 rather than the default 1.54 version.
†
  RHEL/CentOS 6 users should build a more recent Boost release.

Considerations:

- 1.48 or later needed for Boost.Geometry
- 1.54 or later needed for Boost.Geometry spatial indexes.
