 ## Installation
 
 The mongo-ruby-driver gem is served through Rubygems.org. To install, make sure you have the latest version of rubygems.
+
     gem update --system

 Next, install the mongo rubygem:
+
     gem install mongo
 
 The required `bson` gem will be installed automatically.

 #### Making a Connection
 
-An `Mongo::Connection` instance represents a connection to MongoDB. You use a Connection instance to obtain an Mongo:DB instance, which represents a named database. The database doesn't have to exist - if it doesn't, MongoDB will create it for you.

-At this point, the `db` object will be a connection to a MongoDB server for the specified database. Each DB instance uses a separate socket connection to the server.

+#### Authentication
+
 MongoDB can be run in a secure mode where access to databases is controlled through name and password authentication.  When run in this mode, any client application must provide a name and password before doing any operations.  In the Ruby driver, you simply do the following with the connected mongo object:
 
     auth = db.authenticate(my_user_name, my_password)

 #### Getting a Collection
 
 You can get a collection to use using the `collection` method:
+
     coll = db.collection("testCollection")
+
 This is aliased to the \[\] method:
+
     coll = db["testCollection"]
 
 Once you have this collection object, you can now do things like insert data, query for data, etc.
