See the installation instructions on the JavaFX 2 release notes for Linux.
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/release_notes_linux/jfxpub-release_notes_linux.htm
To install:
Download the JavaFX SDK zip file from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/devpreview-1429449.html
Extract the SDK files from the zip file to a directory on your local file system.
There is more detailed info in these blog posts if you need it.
