It doesnt show on the downloads page, only mac and windows 32/64bit.
You'll have to build your own. Look at these instructions from the project page wiki. It's pretty easy to do, actually, and you can add "optimizations" if you want to. There are some unofficial Linux builds for Ubuntu and Fedora floating around here, but they're kinda old. Your best bet is usually self-compilation.
If your using Ubuntu or any Linux based on Ubuntu you can install it using terminal.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glennric/dolphin-emu
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install dolphin-emu

Here is the site it's from.

How can you add optimizations?

When you clone the source code, there should be a CMakeList.txt file in the dolphin-emu directory. Open that and replace the line:

Code:
add_definitions(-march=msse2)

With something like:

Code:
add_definitions(-march=native -O3)

And then compile as usual. The resulting build will be marked as "dirty". Your mileage may vary with optimizations and added instruction sets. Most of my games run fullspeed anyway, but it has made observable, if slight, performance increases on ToS. Been meaning to benchmark it though, to know for sure.
Oh ok thanks, I will have to check that out.
