A block of code is set as follows:

from roboflow import Roboflow
rf = Roboflow(api_key="*****************")
project = rf.workspace("toys").project("toydetector")
dataset = project.version(1).download("yolov8")

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

cd ~/ros2_ws/src
ros2 pkg create –build-type ament-cmake ros_xarm
colcon build
