    The MAC OS version also works on Linux, because SceneBuilder is 100% pure Java, mostly. Download the MacOS DMG file from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/index.html

    Then extract with 7-zip. It’s a compressed HFS file system.

    $ mkdir javafx_scenebuilder
$ 7z e -ojavafx_scenebuilder javafx_scenebuilder-1_0-macosx-universal.dmg

    Now extract the HFS partition:

    $ cd javafx_scenebuilder
$ 7z x 4.hfs

    This will extract lots of files. You’ll only need “JavaFX Scene Builder 1.0/JavaFX Scene Builder 1.0.app/Contents/Java”. You can remove all other files. Start Scenebuilder:

    $ cd "JavaFX Scene Builder 1.0/JavaFX Scene Builder 1.0.app/Contents/Java"
$ java -cp javafx-beans-dt.jar:javafx-designtime.jar:jfxrt.jar:SceneBuilder.jar com.oracle.javafx.authoring.Main

    There’ll be an exception upon start saying something about “ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.prism.es2.gl.x11.X11GLFactory”, but it’ll work anyway.

    Note that you’ll need JDK7u6 to run it.
