Hello I am trying to install this library for use in one of my visual studio projects.

I know I have to go to \project properties-linker-general-additional library Directories but once I get there I don't know what to do.

I am stuck here : enter image description here

Here's a step-by-step tutorial for installing, (optionally) building, and referencing boost in Windows: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#get-boost

  1. Obtain a copy of boost and put it to a folder boost_root (name as you please). If you haven't done it already, the easiest way is to get a precompiled zip from boost
  2. Find the directory where your boost binaries are located. It usually is under the lib subdirectory, ie boost_root\libs.
  3. Under the Additional library directory of visual studio (the one you mention in your post), enter the full or relative path to the boost dll directory, ie path_to_boost_root\boost_root\libs
