Can I generate the `__site` directory holding the webpage content on my laptop, and then copy the whole directory to a remote server which has no Julia installation? Do I just need to adjust absolute paths appearing in the files?

The documentation [Deploying your website](https://franklinjl.org/workflow/deploy/#deploying_on_an_existing_web_server)  
says that is possible exactly that way. Compared to what my `deploy.yml` on GitHub does (also call optimise) make sure to specify the local path to Franklin on your server correctly (that is the folder you copy to).
