 ## Installation
 
-Install the chart via:
+The Theodolite Helm chart with all its dependencies can be installed via:
 
 ```sh
 helm dependencies update .
 helm install theodolite .
 ```
 
-This chart installs requirements to execute benchmarks with Theodolite.
+## Customize Installation
 
-Dependencies and subcharts:
+As usual, the installation with Helm can be configured by passing a values YAML file:
 
-- Prometheus Operator
-- Prometheus
-- Grafana (incl. dashboard and data source configuration)
-- Kafka
-- Zookeeper
-- A Kafka client pod
-
-## Test
-
-Test the installation:
-
-```sh
-helm test theodolite
+```
+helm install theodolite . -f <your-config.yaml>
 ```
 
-Our test files are located [here](templates/../../theodolite-chart/templates/tests). Many subcharts have their own tests, these are also executed and are placed in the respective /templates folders. 
-
-Please note: If a test fails, Helm will stop testing.
+We provide a minimal configuration, especially suited for development environments, with the `preconfigs/minimal.yaml`
+file.
 
-It is possible that the tests are not running successfully at the moment. This is because the Helm tests of the subchart cp-confluent receive a timeout exception. There is an [issue](https://github.com/confluentinc/cp-helm-charts/issues/318) for this problem on GitHub.
+Per default, Helm installs the Theodolite CRDs used for the operator. If Theodolite will not be used as operator or if
+the CRDs are already installed, you can skip their installation by adding the flag `--skip-crds`.
 
-## Configuration
+## Test Installation
 
-In development environments Kubernetes resources are often low. To reduce resource consumption, we provide an `one-broker-value.yaml` file. This file can be used with:
+Test the installation with:
 
 ```sh
-helm install theodolite . -f preconfigs/one-broker-values.yaml
+helm test theodolite

+Please note: If a test fails, Helm will stop testing.

 ## Uninstall this Chart
 
-To uninstall/delete the `theodolite` deployment (by default Helm will be install all CRDs (`execution` and `benchmark`) automatically. If Helm should not install these CRDs, use the flag `--skip-crds`)
+The Theodolite Helm can easily be removed with:
 
 ```sh
 helm uninstall theodolite
 ```
 
-This command does not remove the CRDs which are created by this chart. Remove them manually with:

 ## Development
 
-**Hints**:
+### Dependencies
+
+The following 3rd party charts are used by Theodolite:
+
+- Kube Prometheus Stack (to install the Prometheus Operator, which is used to create a Prometheus instances)
+- Grafana (including a dashboard and a data source configuration)
+- Confluent Platform (for Kafka and Zookeeper)
+- Kafka Lag Exporter (used to collect monitoring data of the Kafka lag)
+
+### Hints
+
+#### Grafana
 
-- Grafana configuration: Grafana ConfigMaps contains expressions like {{ topic }}. Helm uses the same syntax for template function. More information [here](https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/2798)
+Grafana ConfigMaps contain expressions like `{{ topic }}`. Helm uses the same syntax for template function. More information [here](https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/2798)
   - Escape braces: {{ "{{" topic }}
   - Let Helm render the template as raw string: {{ `{{ <config>}}` }}
