 To install an old **and unsupported** version of npm that works on node 0.3
 and prior:
 
-    git clone git://github.com/isaacs/npm.git ./npm
-    cd npm
-    git checkout origin/0.2
-    make dev
+```bash
+git clone git://github.com/isaacs/npm.git ./npm
+cd npm
+git checkout origin/0.2
+make dev
+```
 
 ## Simple Install
 
 To install npm with one command, do this:
 
-    curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
+```bash
+curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
+```
 
 To skip the npm 0.x cleanup, do this:
 
-    curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | clean=no sh
+```bash
+curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | clean=no sh
+```
 
 To say "yes" to the 0.x cleanup, but skip the prompt:
 
-    curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | clean=yes sh
+```bash
+curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | clean=yes sh
+```
 
 If that fails, try this:
 
-    git clone http://github.com/isaacs/npm.git
-    cd npm
-    sudo make install
+```bash
+git clone http://github.com/isaacs/npm.git
+cd npm
+sudo make install
+```
 
 If you're sitting in the code folder reading this document in your
 terminal, then you've already got the code.  Just do:
 
-    sudo make install
+```bash
+sudo make install
+```
 
 and npm will install itself.
 
 If you don't have make, and don't have curl or git, and ALL you have is
 this code and node, you can probably do this:
 
-    sudo node ./cli.js install -g
+```bash
+sudo node ./cli.js install -g
+```
 
 However, note that github tarballs **do not contain submodules**, so
 those won't work.  You'll have to also fetch the appropriate submodules
