How To Install libnest2d-dev on Kali Linux

Introduction

What is libnest2d-dev

libnest2d-dev is:

Libnest2D is a library and framework for the 2D bin packaging problem. Inspired from the SVGNest Javascript library the project is built from scratch in C++11. The library is written with a policy that it should be usable out of the box with a very simple interface but has to be customizable to the very core as well. The algorithms are defined in a header only fashion with templated geometry types. These geometries can have custom or already existing implementation to avoid copying or having unnecessary dependencies.

A default backend is provided if the user of the library just wants to use it out of the box without additional integration. This backend is reasonably fast and robust, being built on top of boost geometry and the polyclipping library. Usage of this default backend implies the dependency on these packages but its header only as well.
