JSDetox should work on most Linux distributions - major versions get tested on the current LTS version of Linux Mint / Ubuntu. The development is currently done on Gentoo Linux with the latest chrome browser, so that combination should always work.
The code can be found in my github repository: https://github.com/svent/jsdetox

While it does use the browser as user interface, the whole analysis/execution of the javascript code is done in the backend. As with any tool that handles malicious, unknown code, you should consider installing JSDetox into an isolated environment.

The master branch in the github repository is stable, so just run this to update to the latest version:
cd #jsdetox-dir# git pull sudo bundle install

JSDetox is written in ruby and compatible with version 1.8 and 1.9. Ruby 1.9 has a much better performance, so it is the recommended version.
JSDetox has the following gem dependencies, managed with bundler:
The libraries metasm and taka come bundled with JSDetox as there is no maintained gem of the latest version available.
You should use a modern HTML 5 capable browser to access the web gui (chrome and firefox get tested).
