 # Compilation
 Download this repo
 ```
-    git clone https://github.com/moldyn/FastPCA.git
+git clone https://github.com/moldyn/FastPCA.git
 ```
 If `gcc > 7.x.x` is used, please use the following branch
 ```
-    git clone --branch fix_gcc8 https://github.com/moldyn/FastPCA.git
+git clone --branch fix_gcc8 https://github.com/moldyn/FastPCA.git
 ```
 Create a build-directory in the project root and change into
 that directory:
 ```
-    mkdir build
-    cd build

 If everything is o.k., run make (on multicore machines, use '-j' to parallelize
 compilation, e.g. 'make -j 4' for up to four parallel jobs):
 ```
-    make
+make
 ```
 Now, you should find the 'fastca' binary in the 'src' folder.
