Ubuntu – Ubuntu doesn’t recognize specific package through apt-get

aptpackage-managementsoftware installation

I'm trying to install libboost-thread1.54.0 (I need this specific version) using this command: sudo apt-get install libboost-thread1.54.0 but it throws me this error:

Reading package lists... Done 
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done 
E: Unable to locate package libboost-thread1.54.0 
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libboost-thread1.54.0'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost-thread1.54.0'

However, I find the package here, it seems that Ubuntu doesn't recognize it.

In the same page, in the right panel there are download links but I don't know really which one it's for me.
Can't find any direct answer in google either. I really need that package installed, I know there are newer versions but I need that one.

Working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

PS: I have this error, thats why I need the libboost-thread1.54.0
