At least as safe as a package, both are taking executable content from
a source you don't implicitly trust and running it as root. (The
install video shows a normal user but it assumes that user can run
sudo. Look at the source.) Now if it were a http url there would at
least be an argument about Man in the Middle threat, but it is an
https. All they are doing is making a single cut/paste job to install
instead of a list of command most newbs will screw up and then flood
the forums about.
