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?
thanks,
