The boost libraries are available in various formats:

<ul>
|

<li><a href="http://boost.sourceforge.net/release/">HTTP download</a> all of Boost as a single archive
|

suggested first since it doesn't count against our web site host's monthly

|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Download individual files from links in the documentation on the web
|
||||
site. Because of the number of files involved, and <a href="../libs/hdr_depend.html">header
|

</ul>

|

</ul>
|

|

The .zip format is widely supported by both free decoders and
|
||||
commercial compress/archive utilities. If you don't already have a
|
||||
.zip file decoder, download one from the
|
||||
<a href="http://www.info-zip.org/">Info-ZIP</a>
|
||||
web site, which supplies versions for many operating systems.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Text file line endings in the .zip file are as supplied by each library
|
||||
developer. This works fine for Windows, but not for Unix/Linux. The
|
||||
.tar.gz file supplies Unix/Linux friendly line endings.
|

</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
The .tar.gz format is widely supported on Unix/Linux platforms. Some
|
||||
Windows compress/archive utilities can read the format as well. Because
|
||||
the gzip format compresses the archive as a single file rather than compressing
|
||||
each file individually, the .tar.gz file is smaller that the .zip file.
|
||||
<p>Text file line endings in the .tar.gz file have been converted to newlines
|

for ease of use on Unix/Linux platforms.</p>

<p>All Boost files, including the entire distribution tree including web site

<p>Text file line endings in the .tar.gz file have been converted to

For those who have CVS clients installed, the libraries are also available from

the public <a href="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7586">Boost CVS

repository</a>. Free command line clients (often already installed on Linux/Unix

systems) are available at the <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">CVS home page</a>,
|

and free GUI clients are also available for Windows, Mac, and other systems from
|
||||
<a href="http://www.cvsgui.org/">CvsGui.org</a>.<p>The general procedure for
|
||||
command-line clients is something like this: </p>
|

<blockquote>

|

<p>That said, preparing to use Boost in a development project is
|
||||
relatively straightforward. Most boost libraries are implemented entirely
|
||||
within their header files. The only preparation for their use is to add
|
||||
the boost root directory to your compiler's list of
|
||||
<code>#include<...></code> search paths. For example, using Windows
|
||||
2000, if you have unzipped release 1.28.0 from boost_all.zip into the top
|
||||
level directory of your C drive, adding '-Ic:/boost_1_28_0' to the
|
||||
command line of most compilers is sufficient.</p>

|

"../libs/thread/doc/index.html">Threads</a> libraries are implemented in
|
||||
part as separate source files, and thus require compilation before use.
|
||||
See <a href="../tools/build/index.html">Building Boost Libraries</a> for
|
||||
an automatic tool to prepare such libraries. Some of the individual
|
||||
libraries also include make and/or project files for various compilers,

but <em>every</em> library with a built component includes the neccessary
|

<code>Jamfile</code> for building with <a href=
