 Or you can install it on the system:
-
-    sudo ninja install    # without sudo on Windows

 Download the prebuilt server somewhere, and specify its path during the Meson
 configuration:

-        -Dprebuilt_server=/path/to/scrcpy-server.jar

 ## Run
 
 _At runtime, `adb` must be accessible from your `PATH`._
 
 If everything is ok, just plug an Android device, and execute:
-
-    scrcpy
-
+```bash
+$ scrcpy
+```
 It accepts command-line arguments, listed by:
-
-    scrcpy --help
-
+```bash
+$ scrcpy --help
+```
 For example, to decrease video bitrate to 2Mbps (default is 8Mbps):
-
-    scrcpy -b 2M
-
+```bash
+$ scrcpy -b 2M
+```
 To limit the video dimensions (e.g. if the device is 2540×1440, but the host
 screen is smaller, or cannot decode such a high definition):
-
-    scrcpy -m 1024
-
+```bash
+$ scrcpy -m 1024
+```
 If several devices are listed in `adb devices`, you must specify the _serial_:
-
-    scrcpy -s 0123456789abcdef
-
+```bash
+$ scrcpy -s 0123456789abcdef
+```
 To run without installing:
-
-    ./run x [options]
-
+```bash
+$ ./run x [options]
+```
 (where `x` is your build directory).
