For other Unix operating systems, CMake currently builds tarballs and self-installing shell scripts. This CMake functionality, providing by the CPack program that is part of CMake, is used to create all of the CMake's binary installers.

On Windows, one must first download and install the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS)]. Then, using Microsoft Visual Studio, one loads the Boost project/solution and build the `PACKAGE` target to generate the graphical installer. On Mac OS X, other Unix platforms, and on Windows when using a makefile generator, change into the Boost binary directory and use the `package` make target, e.g.,
