-# Setup the CaosDB MySQL Back-end
+# Setup of the CaosDB SQL back end
 
 ## Dependencies
-
-* `MariaDB Client 10.1`, `MySQL Client 5.5`, or later versions. MySQL 5.6 is recommended.
-## Configuration
-
-* Run `./configure`. For the default values and the meaning of these default values see [config.defaults](config.defaults). The `configure` script also promts for a (new) user password. Remember that one, since it will be the password of the mysql user which is used by the caosdb server. 
-* If there is no `mysql-config-editor` (`MySQL 5.5`. and `MariaDB`) then the user is promted for the `MYSQL_USER_PASSWORD`, that is the password of the `MYSQL_USER`. The plain password is stored in the `.config` file. So make sure nobody else can read it.
-* If you are using MariaDB and your `root` user uses pam authentication, no pasword string is required. When promted for the `MYSQL_USER_PASSWORD` just leave it blank and hit enter. But you need be login as root for the installation and upgrade process.
-
-## Install
-
-* Run `make install`. If a there is a database with the name you have choosen during the configuration, you need to reconfigure or delete the database first.
-
-## Upgrade
-
-* Run `make upgrade`. Upgrades the database to the last version.

+## Create the configuration
+* Run `./configure`. For the default values and the meaning of these default
