I am thinking about installing the Mega.nz app on my Debian Stretch installation. They provide a .deb package. Is there anything I can do to ensure this is a safe package? To know that this package will not create a security vulnerability on my system? What is the minimum security procedure to follow when installing third party provided .deb packages?

Also consider using the open-source megatools package. 1.10.0 has just been released and is expected in Debian soon.

Kind regards,
