To
use ASM on Linux, we need to create ASM disks, and using oracleasmLib is one
way to configure ASM disks. To do this, we need to install oracleasm kernel driver, oracleasm-support
and oracleasmlib, and then configure oracleasm.
oracleasm kernel driver is built in Oracle Linux and does not need to be installed. After installing oracleasm-support and oracleasmlib packages, oracleasm driver starts working.

If
you are using some other flavor of Linux, for example RedHat Linux, then you
would need to install all 3 packages (oracleasm driver, oracleasm-support and
oracleasmlib).
Since I am using Oracle Linux, I would
install oracle oracleasm-support and oracleasmlib. 
Install oracleasm-support from yum repository or from Linux media, then download oracleasmlib package form the following URL, and install.

Install
  oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support 
[root@salman1 ~]# 
  yum install oracleasm-support 
[root@salman1 ~]# 
  rpm -i oracleasm-lib* 
Configure
  oracleasm (highlighted in red are the inputs during configuration) 
[root@salman1 ~]#
  /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure 
Configuring the Oracle
  ASM library driver. 
This will configure the
  on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library 
driver.  The
  following questions will determine whether the driver is 
loaded on boot and what
  permissions it will have.  The current values 
will be shown in
  brackets ('[]').  Hitting <ENTER> without typing an 
answer will keep that
  current value.  Ctrl-C will abort. 
Default user to own the
  driver interface []: grid 
Default group to own the
  driver interface []: asmadmin
