Currently the tool is not usable when the database (which isn't changed between uses) is stored on a read-only partition. This means that in the current situation the static data would need to be downloaded to a local node (and saved in temp storage) within a HPC environment. Allowing the static database to be used in a read-only configuration is of added benefit within such an environment.
