 There are two modes to build MFiX-Exa with cmake:
 
-o **SUPERBUILD (recommended):** AMReX is downloaded and built as part

 The options **AMReX\_PARTICLES=yes**, **AMReX\_EB=yes** and  **AMReX\_PLOTFILE\_TOOLS=yes** are required by MFiX-Exa. ``[other amrex options]`` in the snippet above refers to any other AMReX configuration option in addition to the required ones. Please refer to the `AMReX user guide <https://amrex-codes.github.io/amrex/docs_html/BuildingAMReX.html#building-with-cmake>`_ for more details on building AMReX with CMake.
