You can also try one of these options:
 - download one of the already existing images at IFCA and start it at your
PC, install there the software and then upload it back to IFCA.
 - if the application is not very big, you can install it upon
instantiation with some contextualization script (this would let you easily
move from one site to another, since you would not need to have your image
everywhere)

Enol.
