-=== Prerequisites
+NOTE: For a statically compiled Pistol to be functional, it needs to read a libmagic database
+(usually found in `/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc`) and the static executable
+includes the contents of this database found on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/tools/misc/file/default.nix[Nixpkgs'
+`file`]
+package. The content of the `magic.mgc` database is copied to
+`~/.local/share/pistol/${libmagic-version}.mgc` when you first run the executable.
+Hence using this executable might not be desirable due to this behaviour which
+a regular compilation of `pistol` does not include. This behaviour is compiled
+into `pistol` if you use `go {build,install}` with `-tags EMBED_MAGIC_DB`.
