The jEPlus project (.jep) files will work on both Windows and Linux, so no conversion is required. If you just want to run projects, do it via the command line will be fine. However, you need to edit the jeplus.cfg file so it points to your EnergyPlus installation. To edit the project in the jEPlus GUI, however, you need to install a desktop on the Linux server. You also need to install a JRE with graphics libraries, e.g. openjdk-7-jre, rather than openjdk-7-jre-headless. Both Oracle or OpenJDK version 7 should work fine, though.
