I tried to install boost on Ubuntu 16.04 and when I run ./bootstrap.sh the following error happens all the time.
samri@samri-Satellite-C55-C:~/boost$ ./bootstrap.sh
./bootstrap.sh: 1: ./bootstrap.sh: ./tools/build/v2/engine/build.sh: not found

You can download Boost.Build from the Boost.Build GitHub webpage. In this archive /tools/build/v2/engine/ is replaced by /tools/build/src/engine. The .zip archive contains a file named bootstrap.sh in the root directory and a tutorial (tutorial.html) which is the same as the official Boost.Build tutorial at Boost.Build tutorial.
Did you clone it from the GitHub super-project? If so, don't forget to initialise any submodules you need, including ./tools/build. The easiest thing to do is pull everything:
cd ~/boost
git submodule update --init
./bootstrap.sh
