You don't have root access in application containers. You could bundle the
software into a custom build pack. Again, you can't install stuff with
root so you have to manually extract the files somewhere writeable by the
vcap user and run them from that location. A log of build packs use
`/home/vcap/app/vendor`. Docker might be another option at least to more
easily install the software. You'd still need a command to run it as the
vcap user. I don't think you could run it as a service.
