ArcGIS Enterprise Marketplace Linux image comes with ArcPy. Thus, it is possible to run MDCS script (in theory).
Step-by-step guide for Table / Raster Catalog
- Copy the entire contents of https://github.com/Esri/mdcs-py/blob/master/scripts/ to working directory.
Modify raster_type section of MDCS.xml.
<!-- AR - Add Rasters--> <AddRasters> <AddRaster> <dataset_id>power</dataset_id> <raster_type>Table / Raster Catalog</raster_type>Specify table (in CSV) location.
<Sources> <data_path>Z:\home\arcgis\data\LC08.csv</data_path> </Sources>Edit the Raster column of .csv file. It must be local and a raster proxy. You can test a sample raster proxy file from [2].

Step-by-step guide for Raster Data Set
This is useful for creating a mosaic set from a set of TIF files that resides in a directory.
- Copy the entire contents of https://github.com/Esri/mdcs-py/blob/master/scripts/ to working directory.
If you use Raster Dataset for rasterType, you can create mosaic from MRFs. Put MRF files under the data_path.
<!-- AR - Add Rasters--> <AddRasters> <AddRaster> <dataset_id>power</dataset_id> <raster_type>Raster Dataset</raster_type> <Sources> <data_path>Z:\home\arcgis\data\cermrf</data_path> </Sources> <filter>*</filter> </AddRaster> </AddRasters>Disable DF and AI in MDCS.xml if you don't use Table / Raster Catalog for rasterType.

MDTools_Setup.exe cannot be installed. MDTools is a set of command line tools that simplifies some common management tasks when working with rasters in a mosaic dataset.
Error 999999
Arcpy throws an error when it adds an item. This is a known issue for Linux platform according to Abhijit at Esri. It doesn't happen on Windows.
