 # Quick Run
 To quickly start a TDengine server after building, run the command below in terminal:
-```cmd
+```bash
 ./build/bin/taosd -c test/cfg
 ```
 In another terminal, use the TDengine shell to connect the server:
-```
+```bash
 ./build/bin/taos -c test/cfg
 ```
 option "-c test/cfg" specifies the system configuration file directory. 
 
 # Installing
 After building successfully, TDengine can be installed by:
-```cmd
+```bash
 make install
 ```
 Users can find more information about directories installed on the system in the [directory and files](https://www.taosdata.com/en/documentation/administrator/#Directory-and-Files) section. It should be noted that installing from source code does not configure service management for TDengine.
