 ### Cloning The GitHub Repository
 You can also use Git to directly clone the MEAN.JS repository:
+
 ```bash
 $ git clone https://github.com/meanjs/mean.git meanjs
 ```
+
 This will clone the latest version of the MEAN.JS repository to a **meanjs** folder.
 
 ### Downloading The Repository Zip File
 Another way to use the MEAN.JS boilerplate is to download a zip copy from the [master branch on GitHub](https://github.com/meanjs/mean/archive/master.zip). You can also do this using `wget` command:
+
 ```bash
 $ wget https://github.com/meanjs/mean/archive/master.zip -O meanjs.zip; unzip meanjs.zip; rm meanjs.zip
 ```
+
 Don't forget to rename **mean-master** after your project name.
