Get Boost
=========
-The easiest way to get a copy of Boost is to use an installer. The
-`Boost website version of this Getting Started guide`_ will have
-updated information on installers as they become available, or see
-`Boost downloads`_ or the installer_ provided by `BoostPro
-Computing`_. We especially recommend using an installer if you use
-Microsoft Visual Studio, because the installer can download and
-install precompiled library binaries, saving you the trouble of
-building them yourself. To complete this tutorial, you'll need to at
-least install the Static Multithreaded variants of the Boost.Regex_
-binaries when given the option.
