 ### Install python files
-It is recommended to upgrade pip to the latest version before installing:
+    pip3 install --user .
-
-    python -m pip install --upgrade pip
-
-Default installation with *mariadb*/*mysql* support:
-
-    pip3 install --user ".[mysql]"
-
 or with ldap support
 
     pip3 install --user ".[ldap]"
-
 or if you want to also run the tests:
 
-    pip3 install --user ".[ldap,tests]"
+    pip3 install --user ".[ldap,test]"
 
 You will also need a MySQL driver, recommended drivers are
 - `mysqlclient`
