I want to install MAS to my clubhouse's computer so I can share MS Office with our member, but I wonder if it's really safe.

Some people on Reddit say that it's a trojan

They say that I can check the source code since it's open sourced, but I'm not sure. It's too complex, and downloading several files inside a script. I haven't checked yet but it can be downloading some blobs, idk.

Also the domain of the official page sounds suspicious... "mass grave"??

Edit: I use Debian btw

Also check what options you have with uni IT. Some unis have student access to paid software or if you are a uni club.
