FWIW, I tried it out for the first time yesterday.  Their Linux version
(AMD64, so admittedly not something that'd run on the RPi) was provided as a
tarball.  I downloaded and unpacked it into /tmp and ran it from there.  No
scripts involved, and it worked like a champ with my webcam (a Microsoft
LifeCam Cinema, which also adds a microphone).

I run Gentoo, so I picked the most "generic" Linux version they had.  YMMV,
especially if you run one of the distros they support.
