My previous post mentions how to install Boost C++ library 1.53 on Ubuntu, specifically Ubuntu 12.04 LTS since Boost installation using official package manager installs Boost 1.37 (or later but younger than 1.50). Installation on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is much simple because official package manager installs Boost 1.54. The command is very simple as
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
