  <p>I have already run collectstatic in production.</p>
  
  <pre><code>(master)$ python3 manage.py collectstatic
  
  You have requested to collect static files at the destination location as specified in your settings:
  
      /home/ag/ag.pythonanywhere.com/new_p/static
  
  This will overwrite existing files! Are you sure you want to do this?
  
  Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel: yes
  
  0 static files copied to '/home/agusm/agusm.pythonanywhere.com/new_p/static', 119 unmodified.
