 #### Build
 
 Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:
 
-    $ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE
-    $ make -j <number of processors>
+    cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE
+    make -j <number of processors>
 
 Run it:
 
-    $ ./bin/minetest
+    ./bin/minetest
 
 - Use `cmake . -LH` to see all CMake options and their current state
 - If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package),
