 Step 1: First you need to compile the Time Stick module (driver). Either clone the entire repo and take it from there (skip to step 2) so use the following commands:
-```
+```bash
 cd
 git clone https://github.com/Time-Appliances-Project/TimeStick.git
 cd TimeStick/DRV

 Step 2: You need to remove cdc_ncm before installing the AX88179A module.
 Please follow the steps below to remove cdc_ncm and install the AX88179A module.
 
-```
+```bash
 sudo rmmod cdc_mbim
 sudo rmmod cdc_ncm
 sudo rmmod ax88179_178a
