Who should install Tomcat on Solaris? root?

Sorry for the newbie question but:
  What user should install Tomcat on unix?  My understanding is that since
it runs on port 8007 any user should be able to install it.

What are the advantages / disadvantages to installing it as root / user?
Does it really matter?
