+Additionally, if you want to execute the Awsm runtime on your host environment, you need libuv. A reason you might want to do this is to debug your serverless function, as GDB does not seem to run properly within a Docker container.
 
 If on Debian, you can install libuv with the following:
+
 ```bash
 ./devenv.sh install_libuv

 ## Setting up the environment

 **Note: These steps require Docker. Make sure you've got it installed!**
 
 We provide a Docker build environment configured with the dependencies and toolchain needed to build the Awsm runtime and serverless functions.
 
 To setup this environment, run:
+
 ```bash
 ./devenv.sh setup
 ```
 
 To enter the docker environment, run:
-```

+```bash
 ./devenv.sh run
 ```
