Incredibly doubtful as Applescript is very much app specific, and none of those apps exist on Linux.
You can run (a lot) of BASH/perl/ruby scripts on both Mac and Linux, but not Applescript.

No, AppleScript is OS X only.
What is your script doing? most likely you can find an alternative method as foidulus mentioned.

I think he means to open the browser and other equivalent apps, as I'm looking for the same thing.

Yup. I strongly doubt that you'll have any luck getting AppleScript to run on Linux. AppleScript uses AppleEvents (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_event) which are part of the Mac's OS - and not part of Linux's.
Depending on what you're doing, you may have some success with bash shell scripts, or Python. Both are broadly similar on OS X and Linux - the small differences can catch you out though!

If you share your script with us, we can give you more specific advise. As is, there's not much to be said that hasn't already been said.
