This section provides some guidelines on how to install and configure BoostBook
and Quickbook under several operating systems. Before installing you'll need
a local copy of boost, and to install the version of <code class="computeroutput">bjam</code> which
comes with it (or a later version).
</p>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="quickbook.install.macosx"></a><a class="link" href="install.html#quickbook.install.macosx" title="Mac OS X">Mac OS X</a>

<dt><span class="section"><a href="install.html#quickbook.install.macosx.native">Mac OS X, Snow Leopard
(or later)</a></span></dt>
</dl></div>
<p>
The simplest way to install on OS X is to use macports. If you don't want
to use macports and are using Snow Leopard or later, there are instructions
<a class="link" href="install.html#quickbook.install.macosx.native" title="Mac OS X, Snow Leopard (or later)">later</a>. Earlier versions
of OS X need to use something like macports to install <code class="computeroutput">xsltproc</code>
because the version they come with is very old, and doesn't have good enough
XSL support for boostbook's stylesheets.
</p>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title">
<a name="quickbook.install.macosx.macports"></a><a class="link" href="install.html#quickbook.install.macosx.macports" title="Mac OS X, using macports">Mac OS X, using
macports</a>
</h4></div></div></div>
<p>
First install the <code class="computeroutput">libxslt</code>, <code class="computeroutput">docbook-xsl</code> and <code class="computeroutput">docbook-xml-4.2</code>
packages:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">sudo port install libxslt docbook-xsl docbook-xml-4.2
</pre>
<p>
Next, we need to configure Boost Build to compile BoostBook files. Add
the following to your <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code> file, which should be
in your home directory. If you don't have one, create a file containing
this text. For more information on setting up <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code>,
see the <a href="http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html" target="_top">Boost
Build documentation</a>.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">using xsltproc
: /opt/local/bin/xsltproc
;
using boostbook
: /opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/
: /opt/local/share/xml/docbook/4.2
;
</pre>
<p>
The above steps are enough to get a functional BoostBook setup. Quickbook
will be automatically built when needed. If you want to avoid these rebuilds:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
<li class="listitem">
Go to Quickbook's source directory (<code class="computeroutput">BOOST_ROOT/tools/quickbook</code>).
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Build the utility by issuing <code class="computeroutput">bjam</code>.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Copy the resulting <code class="computeroutput">quickbook</code> binary (located at <code class="computeroutput">BOOST_ROOT/dist/bin</code>)
to a safe place. The traditional location is <code class="computeroutput">/usr/local/bin</code>.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Add the following to your <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code> file, using
the full path of the quickbook executable:
<pre class="programlisting">using quickbook
: /usr/local/bin/quickbook
;
</pre>
</li>
</ol></div>
<p>
If you need to build documentation that uses Doxygen, you will need to
install it as well:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">sudo port install doxygen
</pre>
<p>
And then add to your <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code>:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">using doxygen ;
</pre>
<p>
Alternatively, you can install from the official doxygen <code class="computeroutput">dmg</code>.
This is described at <a class="link" href="install.html#osx-prebuilt-doxygen">the end of the
next section</a>.

The text below assumes you want to install all the necessary utilities
in a system-wide location, allowing any user in the machine to have access
to them. Therefore, all files will be put in the <code class="computeroutput">/usr/local</code>
hierarchy. If you do not want this, you can choose any other prefix such
as <code class="computeroutput">~/Applications</code> for a single-user installation.
</p>
<p>
Snow Leopard comes with <code class="computeroutput">xsltproc</code> and all related libraries
preinstalled, so you do not need to take any extra steps to set them up.
It is probable that future versions will include them too, but these instructions
may not apply to older versions.

the results in <code class="computeroutput">/usr/local/share/xsl/docbook</code>, thus effectively
removing the version number from the directory name (for simplicity).

The following instructions apply to any Windows system based on Windows 2000,
including Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and Windows Vista. The paths shown
below are taken from a Windows Vista machine; you will need to adjust them
to match your system in case you are running an older version.

<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
<li class="listitem">
First of all you need to have a copy of <code class="computeroutput">xsltproc</code> for Windows.
There are many ways to get this tool, but to keep things simple, use
the <a href="http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/" target="_top">binary packages</a>
made by Igor Zlatkovic. At the very least, you need to download the following
packages: <code class="computeroutput">iconv</code>, <code class="computeroutput">zlib</code>, <code class="computeroutput">libxml2</code>
and <code class="computeroutput">libxslt</code>.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Unpack all these packages in the same directory so that you get unique

<li class="listitem">

The following instructions apply to Debian and its derivatives. They are
based on a Ubuntu Edgy install but should work on other Debian based systems.
They assume you've already installed an appropriate version of <code class="computeroutput">bjam</code>
for your copy of boost.
</p>
<p>
First install the <code class="computeroutput">xsltproc</code>, <code class="computeroutput">docbook-xsl</code> and <code class="computeroutput">docbook-xml</code>
packages. For example, using <code class="computeroutput">apt-get</code>:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">sudo apt-get install xsltproc docbook-xsl docbook-xml
</pre>
<p>
If you're planning on building boost's documentation, you'll also need to
install the <code class="computeroutput">doxygen</code> package as well.
</p>
<p>
Next, we need to configure Boost Build to compile BoostBook files. Add the
following to your <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code> file, which should be in your
home directory. If you don't have one, create a file containing this text.
For more information on setting up <code class="computeroutput">user-config.jam</code>, see the

<pre class="programlisting">using xsltproc ;
