Research direction
Examine the root CMakeLists.txt to see the current Boost find package command. Then modify the installation step (likely in a script or Dockerfile) to only download and build the Boost system, filesystem, context, program options, regex, and thread libraries. Refer to Boost's bcp tool or CMake's ExternalProject to selectively include components.
