First you need to buy Doom3 of course (and the Resurrection of Evil Addon, if you want that too; Note that the Addon is not available in Germany).

On Linux/OSX unfortunately you can't just install the game (unless you run Windows Steam in Wine), because it's Windows-only on Steam.
However, you can still download it with SteamCMD.
See this description for Linux or here for OS X on how to install SteamCMD on your system. You won't have to create a new user.

On Linux and *BSD it might be that your package manager provides a dhewm3 package/port that you can install; please refer to that packages documentation on where to put the game data.
You could also try telling dhewm3 where to find the game data with:
dhewm3 +set fs_basepath /home/HansWerner/Games/doom3
(adjust the path to your needs)
If your package manager does not provide dhewm3 (or you're on macOS/OSX and there is none), or you want to use the very latest code, you'll have to compile it yourself. It's not super hard, see the README for details on compiling and the FAQ on where to put the game data.
