 However, this package profits from everybody's work and the releases are infrequent. Please make a development install
 and contribute your changes. You can do this via
 ```sh
-python -m pip install -e git+https://git.rwth-aachen.de/qutech/qutil.git#egg=qutech-util[complete]
+python -m pip install -e git+https://git.rwth-aachen.de/qutech/qutil.git#egg=qutech-util

 ## Tests
