 3. Ensure the `CAPE` directory is owned by the `cuckoo` user
 
+    ```bash
     sudo chown cuckoo:cuckoo -R /opt/CAPE
-
+    ```
 
 4. Switch to the cuckoo user
 
+    ```bash
     sudo su cuckoo
+    ```
 
 5. Create a virtualenv at `/opt/CAPE/venv`
 
+    ```bash
     virtualenv /opt/CAPE/venv
+    ```
 
 6. Install required Python packages inside the virtualenv
 
+    ```bash
     /opt/CAPE/venv/bin/pip install -U -r /opt/CAPE/requirements.txt
+    ```
 
 7. Edit configuration files in `/opt/CAPE/conf` as needed

+    ```bash
     sudo cp /opt/CAPE/systemd/*.service /opt/systemd/system
     sudo sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+    ```
 
 10. Start the services for the first time
 
+    ```bash
     sudo service cuckoo-rooter start
     sudo service cuckoo-processor start
     sudo service cuckoo start
     sudo service cuckoo-wsgi start
+    ```
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
 To view the status and console output of a service:
 
-    bash
-    service cuckoo status
-
+```bash
+service cuckoo status
+```
 
 To view the full output of a service (including crashed services):
 
-
-    journalctl -u cuckoo-wsgi.service -r
-
+```bash
+journalctl -u cuckoo-wsgi.service -r
+```
 
 Note: The `journalctl -r` switch displays the log lines in reverse order, with the newest lines on top.
