ejabberd without root privileges ?

Hello Forum,
I'm an ejabberd newbie and I'm experimenting it to replace another well known xmpp server. I have had previous experiences with other xmpp servers but I'm now trying to move everything to ejabberd. Seems to be a nice software, big IT players are already using it for their own stuff so I'd like to master it well.
I'm using Gentoo as desktop platform and I have installed it on Gentoo, a little bit of configuration but it's nice and works well.
Now in my production area I have many CentOS (6.5) virtual machines and I have used the binary installer to deploy it on CentOS. Seems that CentOS doesn't even have Erlang in their default repos.

Please excuse this simple question but it seems to be a tricky one for a newbie: Is it possible to install ejabberd WITHOUT root privileges ? For me as a sysadmin seems to be a little bit scary, I don't want to point out on possible vulnerabilities but I'll glad to use it without too much privileges, can someone address me in the right direction for a clean installation wihout beeing root for everything ?

Thank you in advance for your kind reply
Regards

Ben
