 ## Install multiple versions
 If you are using multiple versions of Elasticsearch, you need to use multiple versions of the client. In the past, install multiple versions of the same package was not possible, but with `npm v6.9`, you can do that via aliasing.
 
 The command you must run to install different version of the client is:
+
 ```sh
 npm install <alias>@npm:@elastic/elasticsearch@<version>
 ```
-So for example if you need to install `7.x` and `6.x`, you will run

 ```sh

 npm install es7@npm:@elastic/elasticsearch@7
 ```
+
 And your `package.json` will look like the following:
+
 ```json
 "dependencies": {
   "es6": "npm:@elastic/elasticsearch@^6.7.0",
   "es7": "npm:@elastic/elasticsearch@^7.0.0"
 }
 ```
+
 You will require the packages from your code by using the alias you have defined.
+
 ```js
 const { Client: Client6 } = require('es6')
 const { Client: Client7 } = require('es7')
