hi i have problem installing azureus i installed the last version of JRE successfully but when i run azureus installation from the terminal i get this

First at all, don't run user application as root, create a normal user account with # useradd <username> and use it for everyday work.
I also install programs as root. I thought that this is how it is done. Otherwise, how could multiple users (we are two on our home machine) both use it?
When programs are installed as user (not root), aren't they not accesable by other users?
Programs should be *installed* by root (so they go in /usr/... etc., which is only writable by root), but they should be *run* as regular users.

It's just that the OP mentioned that
when i run azureus installation from the terminal i get this [root@localhost azureus]# ./azureus
Which to me looks like he is installing Azureus. So I didn't understand the point of mentioning not to run the program as root, as that was not what he was doing.
As a by-the-way, how am I to know who to trust when I install software? I have installed many things from sourceforge. Can I be certain to trust every author on sourceforge? Because I feel like if I'm downloading something, su, then running (installing) it, I am doing something unsafe. Not everything is available in yum.
For that matter, how to be sure that all which is included in yum is safe?
Thanks.
