 `$CLOUDANT_SRC` is the directory holding your downloaded source files, while `$CLOUDANT_PREFIX` is the prefix to which the software is installed (defaults to `/opt`):

  * 5986 - back door, single-node port, used for admin functions
 
 Next, once the first node is started, and assuming its hostname is 'node1_host' start dbcore on another node, with hostname 'node2_host'.  Once it's started successfully, on node1_host, join the new node:
-    $ curl -X PUT http://localhost:5986/nodes/dbcore@node2_host -d {}
+    curl -X PUT http://localhost:5986/nodes/dbcore@node2_host -d {}
 
 To verify the two-node cluster has been linked properly, on either node, try:
-    $ curl http://locahost:5984/_membership
+    curl http://locahost:5984/_membership
 
 You should see something similar to this:
