 Install the clodius package:
 
-```
+```shell
 pip install clodius
 ```
 
 And use it aggregate a bigWig file:
 
-```
+```shell
 clodius aggregate bigwig ~/Downloads/E116-DNase.fc.signal.bigwig
 ```
 
 The output files can then be displayed using the [higlass-docker container](https://github.com/hms-dbmi/higlass-docker). For more information about viewing these types of files take a look at the [higlass wiki](https://github.com/hms-dbmi/higlass/wiki#bigwig-files).

 ## Development
 
 
 The recommended way to develop `clodius` is to use a [conda](https://conda.io/docs/intro.html) environment and
 install `clodius` with develop mode:
 
-```
+```shell
 python setup.py develop
 ```
 
 Note that making changes to the `clodius/fast.pyx` [cython](http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/quickstart/cythonize.html) module requires an
 explicit recompile step:
 
-```
+```shell
 python setup.py build_ext --inplace
 ```

 The unit tests for clodius can be run using [nosetests](http://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/):
 
-    nosetests tests
+```shell
+nosetests test
+```
 
 Individual unit tests can be specified by indicating the file and function
 they are defined in:
 
-```
+```shell
 nosetests test/cli_test.py:test_clodius_aggregate_bedgraph
 ```
 
 ## Quick start with Docker
 
 If you don't have your own, get some sample data:
-```
+```shell
 mkdir -p /tmp/clodius/input
 mkdir -p /tmp/clodius/output
 curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hms-dbmi/clodius/develop/test/sample_data/geneAnnotationsExonsUnions.short.bed \
-  > /tmp/clodius/input/sample.short.bed 
+  > /tmp/clodius/input/sample.short.bed
 ```
 Then install Docker, and pull and run the Clodius image:
-```
-docker stop clodius; 
+```shell
+docker stop clodius;
 docker rm clodius;
 
 docker pull gehlenborglab/clodius # Ensure that you have the latest.
 
-docker run -v /tmp/clodius/input:/tmp/ \
+docker run -v /tmp/clodius/:/tmp/ \
            gehlenborglab/clodius \
-           clodius aggregate bigwig /tmp/file.bigwig
-           
-ls /tmp/clodius/input # Should contain the output file
+           clodius aggregate bigwig /tmp/input/file.bigwig
