 # Installation
 
 - Change to the directory where you want to use **would-reformat**:
-  `$ cd ~/devel/my-project`
+  `you@host:~ $ cd ~/devel/my-project`
 - From that directory, call the script `install.sh` in the directory where
   you have **would-reformat** checked out:
   `you@host:~/devel/my-project $ ~/src/would-reformat/install.sh`
