My development environment is i3 window manager on Gentoo GNU/Linux with an nVidia 1070 Ti graphics card and using Visual Studio Code for the IDE.
You can find the tarballs for the Vulkan SDK here:

At the time of this writing, I am using version 1.1.101.0 of the Vulkan SDK
I was able to compile and run the example only by emerging the wayland package. It also uses libxcb and, naturally, xorg. This was enough for ./build_examples.sh to compile, then run ./vkcube in the examples/build folder.
There is an ebuild for GLFW, so I used that, initially I had enabled the wayland use flag but that broke. Since I am using i3 which is Very Not Wayland, it was important to have -wayland on GLFW.
vulkan-tutorial.com recommends building from source for a recent version, but 3.2.1 is the most recent version. Yay for Gentoo! Apparently it hasn't changed since August 2016 though.
Libglm seems to be easily satisfied by sudo emerge --ask glm with the media-libs/glm-0.9.9.2 ebuild. There is a newer version, 0.9.9.5 as of this writing, but they are VERY recent changes (within the past few days) and are probably nothing necessary at the moment.
