They tell you to not install it into the Applications folder. Doing that 
would cause a password prompt (unless your were user 500 or 501).

Looks like you give it a directory of its own and it builds everything it 
needs in there. This would circumvent the OS's password prompt. At most 
you would get a prompt that you are running something that was 
downloaded. You can say "yes" to that without entering a password. I for 
one would prefer that the OS did require a password for this.
