Just follow the instructions at http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/getting_started/downloads.html to download the portable emsdk for linux and OSX. It'll build everything needed to do cool stuff. In the context of Emscripten, read "SDK" as "toolchain," like getting mingw or codesourcery.
Thankfully, Emscripten doesn't care what your development workflow is. I'm working on linux, editing files in both vim and Sublime Text. Just call emcc from the commandline to build instead of gcc, or something more like "emmake make" instead of "make." Also, definitely install nodejs - it helps to be able to run tests! "EMCONFIGURE_JS=1 emconfigure ./configure" instead of "./configure" will build tests with emscripten and run them with nodejs - quite handy.
