Boost is bunch of C++ libraries aiming to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations. Boost libraries are even suitable for eventual standardization.

Please keep in mind this is just common guide to update Boost with no source codes changes. Each update has it's own individual changes, see release notes for more information.

Step By Step Guide

1, Download the newest package of Boost
Here  is the official site of Boost. Download the "Current Release" version, do not change it with "Beta Release" and make sure archive is in .tar.gz format.

2, Upload the content on server
In the Compilation folder make folder named Boost and upload there the archive you have downloaded.
Once the archive is uploaded extract it by using this command: tar xvzf [NameOfTheArchive].tar.gz.
After that delete the archive.

3, Delete the old version
Before updating we need to delete old version of the Boost. Go to the Extern/Includes/Boost folder and delete the boost folder.

4, Copy files into the Extern folder
After you have deleted the old version, go to the extracted folder and from there copy whole boost folder into the Extern/Includes/Boost folder.

5, Delete the folder with Boost source codes
Once you have done this, we don't need the folder with sources anymore. Delete it.
