Add the fingerprint repository, refresh packages, and install the required libraries. If issues arise, compile and configure further for the sensor to function properly.

After executing the command, it's necessary to log out, log back in, and then open the Fingerprint GUI. @firelighter487

The fingerprint scanner on the laptop isn't available right now. Please wait until support is added.
