Thanks a lot for your prompt reply, and apologies for asking something 
that is in the FAQ section 0:-)

I first tried wheezy (stable):

sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://debian.cgal.org wheezy main”
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 
B8FAFF1C43886771 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev

But the installation didn’t work because it was not finding my boost 
libraries and I was not sure about how to proceed, so I tried jessie 
(test) instead:

sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://debian.cgal.org jessie main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev


And it worked! :-)

$ apt-cache policy libcgal-dev
libcgal-dev:
   Installed: 4.6-1~deb8u1
   Candidate: 4.6-1~deb8u1
  Version table:

Packages
       3.9-1build1 0
         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/multiverse amd64 
Packages


Thanks so much for your help,
Raquel
