Description
Hi. I'm trying to install boost::python, following the installation instructions given here for boost 1.76.0 (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_76_0/libs/python/doc/html/building/no_install_quickstart.html).
It references Section 5 of the initial install documentation here (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_76_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html), asking you to use that to install bjam, then to use bjam to bootstrap the boost:python build. The problem is that, following the instructions as given in Section 5, then attempting to use bjam results in my terminal telling me bjam isn't installed. Furthermore, reading the documentation for version 1.76.0 here (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_76_0/tools/build/doc/html/index.html#bbv2.faq.projectroot) seems to imply bjam no longer exists in boost, and has been supplanted by the b2 installer referenced in the earlier install. Am I missing something to get boost.python working?
Apologies if I'm missing something simple.
