1) Edit>Preferences>Folders>plugins should show two directories, one in your user tree, the other in the Gimp installation tree (*)
2) The one in the Gimp installation tree should contain a file called script-fu (and will likely contain many others...)
3) That file should be marked executable (chmod +x .... if not)
4) Trying to execute it in a terminal should display no error but the message: /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu is a GIMP plug-in and must be run by GIMP to be used

(*) You can also edit the gimprc file in your Gimp profile. It should have lines that read (script-fu-path "/path/to/your/scripts:/path/to/Gimp/standard/scripts") and (plug-in-path "/path/to/your/plugins:/path/to/Gimp/standard/plugins")
