2. Navigate to the extracted boost directory in a terminal.
3. Run ./bootstrap.sh
4. Run sudo ./b2 install (This will compile and install boost libraries into your /usr/local/lib)
5. Run sudo ldconfig (This will update your library cache and avoid potential issues when running your compiled C++ program which links to newly installed boost libraries)
