 1) In every `riak.conf` file, search for the `##strong_consistency=on` line and uncomment it. It is important that you do this <b>before you start your cluster</b>!
 
 2) Run the following riak-admin commands:
 
-    ```
-    riak-admin bucket-type create ycsb '{"props":{"allow_mult":"false","consistent":true}}'
-    riak-admin bucket-type activate ycsb

 Note that you may want to specify the number of replicas to create for each object. To do so, you can add `"n_val":N` to the list of properties shown above (by default `N` is set to 3).
