For Linux:

1. Add "using gcc ; " to user-config.jam
2. Go to boost root and run

bjam install

or

bjam --with-thread install

In fact, except for differences in specifying the toolset 
(see
http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/differences_to_v1.html#bbv2.advanced.differences_to_v1.build_process)

the command line is the same as for V1:
