Boost.Unordered can be installed in a number of ways:

• Download Boost and you're ready to go (this is a header-only library requiring no building).
• Using Conan 2: In case you don't have it yet, add an entry for Boost in your conanfile.txt (the example requires at least Boost 1.86):

[requires]
boost/[>=1.86.0]

[options]
boost:header_only=True

• Using vcpkg: Execute the command

vcpkg install boost-unordered

• Using CMake: Boost CMake support infrastructure allows you to use CMake directly to download, build and consume all of Boost or some specific libraries.
