It doesn't really differ from any other type of binary download in terms of 
security. If you don't trust the source, don't do it.

But since the majority of users are installing software on single user 
systems, it might even have a slight advantage by installing in user space as 
that user - in the very worst case, you lose the contents of your home 
directory, but not more
