Do not put images of your commands, it makes difficult to copy/paste them. To highlight commands, use the backticks "`" for a single word or a short command, or indent your command with 4 spaces on its own line (or multiples of 4 in lists).

Thanks Seki. I was struggling to post images and spent a long time trying to format but could not get it right. Thanks for sharing the backticks info.

I think you may have used the same image four times.
