I'm on Ubuntu, and I want to install Boost. I tried with
sudo apt-get install boost
But there was no such package. What is the best way to install Boost on Ubuntu?

You can use apt-get command [requires sudo]
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
Or you can call
aptitude search boost
find packages you need and install them using the apt-get
command.

Get the version of Boost that you require. This is for 1.55 but feel free to change or manually download yourself:
wget -O boost_1_55_0.tar.gz //sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.55.0/boost_1_55_0.tar.gz/download
tar xzvf boost_1_55_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_55_0/
Get the required libraries, main ones are icu for boost::regex support:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev libbz2-dev libboost-all-dev
Boost's bootstrap setup:
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/
Then build it with:
./b2
and eventually install it:
sudo ./b2 install

Installing Boost on Ubuntu with an example of using boost::array:
Install libboost-all-dev and aptitude:
sudo apt install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt install aptitude
aptitude search boost
Then paste this into a C++ file called main.cpp:
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main[]{
boost::array arr = {{1,2,3,4}};
cout > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf'Reset the ldconfig:
sudo ldconfig

An update for Windows 10 Ubuntu Application via Subsystem [also works on standard Ubuntu]:
You might have problems finding the package. If you do, never fear! PPA is here!
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boost-latest/ppa
sudo apt-get update
Then run:
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

First try the following:
$ sudo apt-get install libboost*
You may get an error message similar to the following, like I did:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Then try install below package:
$ sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
Now you can create a a sample project utilizing Boost:
$ mkdir boost
$ cd boost/
$ cat > main.cpp &

Actually you don't need "install" or "compile" anything before using Boost in your project. You can just download and extract the Boost library to any location on your machine, which is usually
like /usr/local/.
When you compile your code, you can just indicate the compiler where to find the libraries by -I. For example, g++ -I /usr/local/boost_1_59_0 xxx.hpp.
