- mkosi requires a Linux kernel that provides `mount_setattr()` which was introduces in 5.12.
- mkosi currently requires systemd 254 or newer to build bootable disk images.
-- mkosi requires various dependencies to be installed. The basic required dependencies
- can be listed by running `mkosi dependencies`. Either install the required dependencies
- on your system or use a tools tree (see the `ToolsTree=` documentation for more
- information).
+- mkosi requires various dependencies to be installed. If a tools tree is used, (see the
+ `ToolsTree=` documentation for more information), then mkosi will download all of its
+ dependencies (except python and a package manager) itself. Otherwise, you'll need to install
+ the required dependencies on your system. You can run `mkosi dependencies` to get a list of the
+ basic required dependencies. For regular mkosi use, we strongly recommend using a tools tree.
- On Debian/Kali/Ubuntu it might be necessary to install the `ubuntu-keyring`,
`ubuntu-archive-keyring`, `kali-archive-keyring` and/or `debian-archive-keyring`
packages explicitly, in addition to **apt**, depending on what kind of distribution
