# Boost libraries 

 NFD requires (a subset of) the [Boost libraries](https://www.boost.org/), a collection of free peer-reviewed portable C++ libraries. 

 NFD and ndn-cxx should compile and work with [Boost 1.65.1](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/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](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_72_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#prepare-to-use-a-boost-library-binary).
