  Btw, there's a large number of tools that use the Procfile file format, including what appears to be the original one, written in Ruby https://github.com/ddollar/foreman (the readme has links to a partial list of foreman clones)

  Obviously, we still need to install a runner to handle this procfile. Meet foreman, or one of it's forks. Foreman is a Ruby script, so for that you'll need to have Ruby installed. There are many forks though. Such as shoreman, which is a dependency free shell script, or node-foreman, which is a javascript fork. I go with node-foreman, for the simple reason that I'm a node guy and I like that I can npm install it to the dependencies of my node projects.
