New Relic can be installed on Heroku Cloud in easier way just from the web UI front end without any need of using Command Line Interface. Here is how. Actually the method we described in the older guide on Installing New Relic on Heroku Cloud is currently the standard method for WordPress-PHP-Unknown-Heroku-Things like situations, what the sentence or rather paragraph we missed to mention there is the alternative easy way. For not mentioning it (has been added now as one sentence), we got another email, because for other non-WordPress, non-PHP Apps, possibly the round about way fails.
Notes on Installing New Relic on Heroku Cloud (Except PHP)

So, until and unless you/we are able to run New Relic directly for PHP Apps which needs other components to be installed (like PHP Zlib), we have no other shortcut.
