 Ensure the following software are installed: Make, CMake, GCC, and Git.  To setup the cFS BUNDLE directly from the latest set of interoperable repositories (with your working directory set to where you want to put cFS):
 
+```bash
     git clone https://github.com/nasa/cFS.git
     cd cFS
     git submodule init
     git submodule update

 ## Build and Run
 
 The cFS Framework including sample applications will build and run on the pc-linux platform support package (should run on most Linux distributions), via the steps described in [the cFE cmake readme](<https://github.com/nasa/cFE/tree/master/cmake/README.md>).  Quick-start is below:
 
 To prep, compile, and run on the host (from cFS directory above) as a normal user (best effort message queue depth and task priorities):
