    use ``pipx`` to that this tool is available independent from the use of any
    other python environments::
 
-       pipx install git+https://gitlab.gwdg.de/mpsd-cs/mpsd-software-manager

 2. Navigate to the location in your file system where you would like to store
    the compiled software. (Once compiled, the location cannot be changed.) For
    example::
 
-     cd /home/user/mpsd-software
+     $ cd /home/user/mpsd-software
 
 
 3. Initiate the installation at this location using::
 
-     mpsd-software init .
+     $ mpsd-software init
 
    (This creates a hidden file ``.mpsd-software-root`` to tag the location for
    as the root of the installation. All compiled files, logs etc are written in
    or below this subdirectory.)
