So I run Linux exclusively and I'm trying to get indexing to work. Unfortunately I'm rather clueless as to how to get it to actually run.

I've downloaded a script from familysearch.org using wget: 

wget https://indexing.familysearch.org/downloads/Indexing_unix.sh

But the script bombs out checking for Java (I do have openjdk 1.8)

jeremy@main:~/geneaology$ ./Indexing_unix.sh
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/jeremy/geneaology/jre/bin/*': No such file or directory
No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system.
The version of the JVM must be at least 1.6 and at most 1.6.
Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.
You can also try to delete the JVM cache file /home/jeremy/.install4j
jeremy@main:~/geneaology$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-3ubuntu1~16.04.1-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

I'm not sure if I need to edit the script so I can fake out the java check or.... I just don't know.

OK, I thought I couldn't help you (I know almost nothing of Linux), but you did note that line about how it needs JVM 1.6, right?  But you have 1.8?
