-# How to Build
+#How to Build
 
 For building and running the project, we recommend using [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) (VSCode) as your IDE, along with the C/C++ and CMake Tools extensions. These extensions significantly simplify the building process. However, you are free to use any IDE of your choice. If you are on a UNIX-like system, the `compile.sh` script can be used for compilation (see [using compile.sh](#using-compile.sh)).
 
 ## CMake Options:
 
-| CMake Option                | Default value | Description                                                                                 |

-| `RAYX_ENABLE_OPENMP:BOOL`   | `ON`          | enable search for OpenMP on your system. If found, build with OpenMP for tracing on CPU     |
-| `RAYX_REQUIRES_OPENMP:BOOL` | `OFF`         | require OpenMP to be found on your system. Otherwise throw an error                         |
-| `RAYX_ENABLE_CUDA:BOOL`     | `ON`          | enable search for Cuda on your system. If found, build with Cuda for tracing on GPU         |

-| `RAYX_ENABLE_H5:BOOL`       | `ON`          | enable search for HDF5 on your system. If found, build with HDF5 for H5 file format support |
-| `RAYX_REQUIRES_H5:BOOL`     | `OFF`         | require HDF5 to be found on your system. Otherwise throw an error                           |
