Is it possible to server-side render jQuery with ReactJS.Net?

I've been going through this tutorial on ReactJS.NET, and hit a snag. It mentions that:

We will use simple polling here but you could easily use SignalR or other technologies.

While this works when I do client-side rendering, it throws the following error when rendering server-side. Currently, I don't actually need jQuery or SignalR to render the initial state as I'm only using them to subscribe to updates once the app is running. I guess my question is, what is the correct way to structure my React application so that I can render it server-side or client-side at will.
