 Install and update MetaModels
 ==============================
 
-You will need a Contao-LTS-version to be able to install MetaModels
-- the current version is Contao 3.5.x
+The current MetaModels 2.1 for Contao 4 is used as usual for the current LTS (4.4)
+tested extensively and is released for it - after the previous tests, MM 2.1 is running.
+but also without problems under 4.6.
 
+The installation of MM 2.1 requires PHP version 7.1 or higher - PHP 7.2 is recommended.
 
-Installation via Composer
--------------------------
+MetaModels 2.1 can be installed via the Contao-Manager or via the console via Composer.
+see the following section.
 
-MetaModels and all its dependencies can be installed with the `Composer package manager <https://c-c-a.org/ueber-composer>`_
-in the Contao backend.
+.. seealso:: For a re-financing of the extensive work, the MM team asks for financial
+   Gift. The scope of the project to be realised should be taken as a guideline.
+   and about 10% will be taken into account - based on the experience of the last grants, are
+   the amounts between 100€ and 500€ (net) - an invoice incl. VAT will of course always be

-If your Contao installation is already using the new Composer package manager, you can easily install MetaModels by selecting, respectively typing in the package name into the search field, as follows:
 
-* `metamodels/bundle_all <https://packagist.org/packages/MetaModels/bundle_all>`_
+Installing MM 2.1
+-----------------
+
+The installation requirements for MetaModels 2.1 are:
+
+* a running Contao 4.4.x (LTS) and
+* PHP 7.1/7.2
+* MySQL from 5.5.5 (InnoDB), MariaDB (without `strict mode`)
+
+Higher versions of Contao and/or PHP are possible, but not officially supported.
+
+In the Contao manager you can enter `metamodels/` to get all available packages
+are listed. The basic package `metamodels/core` has to be installed - and in addition 
+additional attributes and filters can be added depending on the task.
+
+In addition to the individual packages, there are `bundles` which contain different packages for a
+simplified installation.
+
+For an introduction to MetaModels we recommend the bundle `metamodels/bundle_start` - herewith
+the core as well as the most important attributes and filters are defined without e.g. the packages for multilingualism
+installed.
+
+As in MetaModesls 2.0, there is also the `metamodels/bundle_all` bundle, which is installed next to the
+`bundle_start` will also install the multilanguage packages (note: the `translatedselect` packages are also installed).
+`translated tags` are no longer included here, as they are only to be used for special cases).
+
+Further modules like "Register filter", "Radius search", "Rating" etc. are available as separate packages
+to add.
+
+In addition to the Contao Manager, the installation of packages and bundles can be done directly via the console via
+Composer possible - e.g. with
+
+``php web/contao-manager.phar.php composer require metamodels/core``
 
-Regarding the bundle, you will have to select version "2.0.x" at the moment - this bundle will automaticaly install the complete "MetaModels core" with it. While selecting restrictions you can choose between different stages, such as "bugfix release", "feature release" etc. - the current MetaModels functions will be activated with "feature release".
+or
 
-In case that you don't need all filters and attributes, you can also install them separately or you can select another `Bundle package <https://github.com/MetaModels?query=bundle>`_. The packages mentioned above are grouped together and should meet most requirements.
+``php web/contao-manager.phar.php composer require metamodels/bundle_start``
 
-You can find an overview of your already installed packages in the display of the dependency graph (checkbox) in the Contao Composer client ("Package management"). 
+Instead of `php` you may have to specify the path to the corresponding PHP binary.
 
-Installaton via Nightly build
-------------------------------
+After the installation a **update of the database is not possible via the install tool of Contao.
+to forget!**
 
-Alternatively to the installation via Composer, you can install MetaModels via FTP. To do this, you will have to download the current version of MetaModels from the `project website http://now.metamodel.me/ <http://now.metamodel.me/>`_
-unzip it and upload it via FTP to your server. Most of the folders have to be saved into the folder `/system/module` - only two PHP files which are supporting the Ajax functions have to be saved into the Contao root directory.
+With a conversion (2.0 -> 2.1) or a new installation it is a good opportunity to only use the attributes and filters
+which are necessary for the project. Was previously e.g. `metamodels/bundle_all` in use,
+you can query the really used attributes and filters with the following SQL commands:
 
-Afterwards you will have to update the database in the "extension manager".
-If the following error message appears  ``Fatal error: Class 'MetaModels\Helper\UpgradeHandler' ....!metamodels-tng-branch/config/runonce_0.php`` you should purge the internal cache. This option can be found in the menu item "Maintenance" of the Contao backend.
+.. code-block:: sql
+   :linenos:
+   
+   -- Attribute
+   SELECT type FROM `tl_metamodel_attribute` GROUP BY type ORDER BY type
+   
+   -- Filter
+   SELECT type FROM `tl_metamodel_filtersetting` GROUP BY type ORDER BY type

 After "Reserve package for installation" you'll have to make some small changes to Composer-JSON. To do this go to the package manager to "settings" and there click onto "expert mode". The displayed JSON file has to be extended with the entry "as 2.0.0" within the node "require". If you happen to have several extra packages you have to do this for every entry.

-Update MetaModels 
------------------
-
-If you installed MetaModels via Composer you will also have to update it that way.
-
-With the manual MetaModel installation you have to consider several aspects.
-The following procedure has shown itself to be the most efficient: 
-
-* delete ALL old MetaModel folders (you can check which folders these are by double-checking the previous download) - really **ALL**
-* Clear the Contao cache -> /system/cache (everything there within this folder)
-* **NEVER EVER** do a database update (otherwise all will be gone)
-* download the new nightly build files, unzip and upload them (via FTP)
-* update the database via /contao/install.php

-Switch MetaModels from "Nightly build" to "Composer"
------------------------------------------------------
-
-The procedure is similar to "Update MetaModels". By switching to Composer you should consider that Composer is a memory intensive application. Based on experience, you should have at least 100MB. The exact required memory size is dependent on other installed packages and also on the server configuration of your provider.
