-3. ### [Optional] Copy in custom build of `droplet`
-
-   Unfortunately, we cannot directly link the `droplet` package we built into Drop, because it's a development version and won't work properly in the built server.
-
-   To copy in your freshly built `droplet` binary, determine the binary triplet you're using. There should be a file called `droplet.<triplet>.node` in your `droplet` directory. Copy that file into the corresponding file in `node_modoles/@drop-oss/droplet-<triplet>`:
-
-   ```bash
-   cp <droplet dir>/droplet.<triplet>.node <drop dir>/node_modules/@drop-oss/droplet-<triplet>
-   ```
-
-   It should override a file with the same name in that directory.
