I haven't tried it myself as my main Linux system hasn't been used in a while, but it should be possible to use Korman with Blender 2.79b.
You'll need to build a couple of libraries manually, though. Build and install libHSPlasma (along with PyHSPlasma in that project), and then you'll also need to build korlib which comes with Korman. I'm not sure where that needs to go on Linux, but if Blender is using your system Python, then putting it in your system Python's site-packages folder should be sufficient. After that, I expect it would just be a matter of copying the Korman plugin folder into your local Blender's .blender/scripts/addons folder.
