-Regarding Pyinstaller
----------------------
+### Regarding Pyinstaller
 
 As of September 2017 the Pyinstaller version on PyPi is not ready for
-Python 3.6 and / or multiprocessing. I stopped trying to use Pyinstaller
-for distribution. The experiment is still available in the `pyinstaller`
-branch.
+Python 3.6, the developementversion is needed:
 
+~~~
+pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/tarball/develop
+~~~
 
-Installation
-------------
+But I found out that Pyintaller and multiprocessing on windows don't mix well.
+Even after some research and trying the [recipie from the pyinstaller wiki][1]
+it just won't work.
 
-As the only prerequisite, [Python (at least version 3.6)][python] must be
-installed. An added bonus points, if [git][git] is also available.
+I will try to investigate further, if I find the time for it [...]
 
-The installation should be performed in a python virtual environment. A virtual
-environment (short: venv) isolates your base python installation from the
-application and vice versa. This procedure is considered a standard procedure
-when working with python applications and scripts.
-
-1. Choose the desired installation path (e.g. a folder in your home directory)
-2. Create a python virtual environment with `python3 -m venv venv-ardunio-timetable`
-3. Activate the environment:
-   - Posix: `source venv-ardunio-timetable/bin/activate`
-   - Windows: `venv-ardunio-timetable\Scripts\activate.bat`
-4. [Download][download] the 'arduino-timetable' and unpack it or use git:
-   `git clone https://git.cpi.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/holgi/arduino-timetable.git`
-5. Change to the new directory and install the software. I would recommend
-   to install the software as a 'development version', so that changes can be
-   made easily. Change to the folder where 'setup.py' is located and run
-   `pip install -e .`
-
-As of Version 0.1.0, this will also install one GUI-like application called
-'magnetictrap'. It is located at the following paths:
-
-- Posix: `<path to virtual environment>/bin/magnetictrap`
-- Windows: `<path to virtual environment>\Scripts\magnetictrap.exe`
-
-Don't move this file around. If you want to have a shortcut on the desktop or
-somewhere else, please create a shortcut, alias or symbolic link - whatever it
-is called on your system.
-
-
-Updating
---------
-
-Find out if the installation was done using git:
-
-- Open a command line and activate the environment.
-- Change to the directory, where the 'setup.py' file of
-  the package is located
-- Issue a `git status` command. If the result is something along the line
-  `fatal: Not a git repository`, git was not used for the installation
-- Updating *with* git:
-  - Issue a `git pull origin` command to update the package
-- Updating *without* git:
-  - Delete the folder that contains the 'setup.py' file
-  - [Download][download] the software again and unpack it
-- Change to the folder where 'setup.py' is located and run
-`pip install -e .` again to installe the applications
-- Good Luck
