XF 2.1 Clean new installation on an online (with visitors) board? Safe?

I will have to make a clean install of xF2.1 on my online server due to upgrade my vBulletin 3 board.
I mean a clean installation before running the import.

On that time, my guests will visit the board. Of course I will have turn off the xF board after to limit the access.

But as I have did some tests on my XAMPP Localhost to intall xF2. The result: immediately after the move of xF2 files to the server, if someone visits the site, it redirects him to xF2 installation page. How could this be safe?
Maybe I will have to protect my index page with a password until xF2 installation completes?
 
You can password protect the installation if necessary.

However, even if visitors can access the install page, they can't actually do anything without the DB credentials.
