There isn't, neither for Linux nor Mac. Please take a minute to go upvote this feature request 6551 on E+ GitHub to show that you care about true cross-platform compatibility. I opened this as a uservoice request and remember getting some votes but they were lost in the transition to GitHub issue for new features, and this one has fallen way out the radar.
One alternative is to install the Windows version of EnergyPlus on linux using WineHQ, and install missing DLLs using winetricks. I use Ubuntu 16.04 and both EP-Launch and IDF Editor run well and stable (unlike for eg Sketchup 2017 which is a nightmare).
When I need to run it, I just do this and the GUI launches:
$ cd /home/julien/.wine/drive_c/EnergyPlusV8-8-0
$ wine EP-Launch.exe
