I would like to add a little code block in line with paragraph text. For example:
In order to do this just run the [code block] command in your terminal.
Can anybody help?

Not contradicting anything in JoG's answer:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{basicstyle=\ttfamily,
showstringspaces=false,
commentstyle=\color{red},
keywordstyle=\color{blue}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=Java,caption={Java version}]
public class HelloWorld {
// Here's the main class
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
}
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=bash,caption={bash version}]
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello, world!"
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
It is possible, and here is one way do it. (This code is an excerpt from a package I maintain and for some reason, realboxes must be loaded after xcolor whereas in my package, which loads several other packages, that is not the case and I'm not yet sure why.)
The background color is an argument to the \Colorbox command.

Here is a variant showing how to use tcolorbox to achieve your, hopefully, desired results. Play with the options!

The
listingspackage provides a command for inline code snippets:Instead of the exclamation mark you could use any character as delimiter, as long as it does not appear in the code snippet.
