Most of boost libraries are only header libraries which does not require a compilation, however there are some libs require a compilation which may slow down you build time, consider using the --show-libraries to see what boost module you want, and using --with-libraries=library-name-list options to specify what you want.(Note: It is recommanded to build all libraries if you are not proficient in or familiar with boost, even if you it may take you more time to build.)
After we are clear about the options need to specifil, we can issue commands like
this:

$ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local --with-libraries=all --libdir=/usr/local/lib --includedir=/usr/local/include 

$ sudo ./b2 install

# Run the script which prepares Boost's build process
sudo ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local --with-libraries=all

sudo /bin/bash -c 'echo "/usr/local/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/boost.conf'
