-To build from source on Linux (CPU only), install the BLAS and LAPACK headers.
-For example on Ubuntu, run the following:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-   apt-get update -y
-   apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev liblapacke-dev -y

-To build from source on Linux with CUDA, install the BLAS and LAPACK headers
-and the CUDA toolkit. For example on Ubuntu, run the following:
-
-.. code-block:: shell

-   wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2204/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb

-   apt-get -y install cuda-toolkit-12-9
-   apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev liblapacke-dev -y
-

-When building either the Python or C++ APIs make sure to pass the cmake flag
-``MLX_BUILD_CUDA=ON``. For example, to build the Python API run:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
-  CMAKE_ARGS="-DMLX_BUILD_CUDA=ON" pip install -e ".[dev]"
-
-To build the C++ package run:
