Sadly all SDKs after 0.5.0.1-beta are Windows only.
You can use 0.5.0.1-beta, but the support is unfinished, marked "experimental", and has a number of well known dealbreaking problems. It's also becoming much harder to run 0.5.0.1 without segfaulting on an up-to-date system, and this problem will only get worse. It's also completely incompatible with up-to-date SDKs. If you want to develop for Linux you may want to consider if Oculus is still a good choice of HMD.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! :(
