If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/boost
%  sudo port install boost  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching boost
--->  Verifying checksum for boost
--->  Extracting boost
--->  Configuring boost
--->  Building boost with target all

--->  Staging boost into destroot

--->  Installing boost

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using boost with these commands:

%  man boost
%  apropos boost
%  which boost
%  locate boost
