 Alternatively, the Python package `rubix` is published on GitHub and can be installed alongside its runtime dependencies (including JAX) by choosing the relevant extras. For a CPU-only environment, install with:
 
 ```
 git clone https://github.com/AstroAI-Lab/rubix.git
 cd rubix
-pip install .[cpu]
+pip install .
 ```
 
-If you need GPU acceleration, replace `[cpu]` with `[cuda]` (or install `jax[cuda]` following the [JAX instructions](https://github.com/google/jax#installation) before installing Rubix). The plain `pip install .` command installs the minimal package without JAX and will raise `ImportError` if you try to import `rubix` before adding `jax` manually.
