Boost libraries¶

NFD requires (a subset of) the Boost libraries, a collection of free peer-reviewed portable C++ libraries.

NFD and ndn-cxx should compile and work with Boost 1.65.1 and above. If your distribution does not provide these libraries natively, or if the provided version is too old, you can install a recent version following the instructions in the Boost FAQ or on the official Boost Getting Started guide.
