When deploying the developed application on some server, all the exact dependencies get installed there. The main reason for the existence of the server and its configuration is to run the application, so the server adapts to the needs of the application and gets the dependency versions preferred by the app, instead of the application trying to adapt to the server and trying to make do with the libraries already existing there.
