Google the product name and Linux. If nothing turns up, you need to find the name of the SoC / processor and google that. Find out if it's supported by Linux and what other people did to install Linux. You might need additional hardware though, like a serial or JTAG adapter and a soldering iron. Plus the required expertise. And I must warn you, that thing has 1 GB of RAM and 256MB(!) of flash storage. You won't be able to do much with those specs. Like a slow FTP server or one small website or a few other tiny services which don't use a lot of resources.
