Deploy Angular Universal to Shared Hosting without npm or node.js

Question

I currently have access to an standard cPanel shared hosting, without SSH I have an angular application running there https://www.rednots.com However now I need the app to have server side rendering for Facebook share, I've been using Universal toolkit from https://github.com/maciejtreder/ng-toolkit and it works great in local Now my issue is: can I deploy the Universal app the same way I've deployed the Angular client side app by uploading the dist folder? Do I need node.js installed in the server and run commands? Or is it any workaround so I don't need to use commands?

ng-toolkit is using lambda functions and api gateways to be used by the services. Technically speaking you only need to deploy the dist folder and everything should work out of the box since you mentioned that you already tested it locally and it works which means that the lambda functions are already deployed and the services are pointing to AWS gateway properly.
