It depends on the Linux distribution, I personally recommend you to follow this guide using ssh with a distribution you are familiar with (or if you don't know any, just use Ubuntu):

We all like one liners. Check out the url to get a idea what it is and put the line below in you command line and see the magic happens:
wget https://raw.github.com/TheMerkle/EasyBitcoinNode/master/easyBitcoinNode.sh ; sudo bash easyBitcoinNode.sh
or use this one
curl https://bitnodes.earn.com/install-full-node.sh | sh
It will install a node for you on a automatic pilot. For more information about the scripts click here or here

Actually it is very easy, but it boils down to what distro you use.

Essentially you just install it and it would run. But what you want is bitcoind, and that may come in a different package name depending on distro. You don't need the wallet to run the node. On many distros it will start as a service immediately and start syncing, in others you might need to edit a text file or two, again it all depends on distro.

Just make sure you have 500g or so (its currently using 248g, 225g ./blocks, 20g ./indexes 3g ./chainstate) and uncapped bandwidth, thats it. If you have neither, then you will want to change the configuration options to reduce space and bandwidth use.
