Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install boost-iostreams on CentOS 8.
What is boost-iostreams
Run-time support for Boost.Iostreams, a framework for defining streams, stream buffers and i/o filters. boost-iostreams 1.66.0 10.el8 x86_64 39 k boost-1.66.0-10.el8.src.rpm appstream Run-time component of boost iostreams library http Boost and MIT and Python Run-time support for Boost.Iostreams, a framework for defining streams, stream buffers and i/o filters.
We can use yum or dnf to install boost-iostreams on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install boost-iostreams.
Install boost-iostreams on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - Extras 23 kB/s | 1.5 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - FastTrack 40 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - HighAvailability 36 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - Plus 24 kB/s | 1.5 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - PowerTools 50 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 - x86_64 13 kB/s | 9.2 kB 00:00
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 24 kB/s | 8.5 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install boost-iostreams using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install boost-iostreams
Install boost-iostreams on CentOS 8 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 24 kB/s | 8.5 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install boost-iostreams using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install boost-iostreams
How To Uninstall boost-iostreams on CentOS 8
To uninstall only the boost-iostreams package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove boost-iostreams
