For linux, just install fprintd with standard package manager, and run fprintd-enroll to enroll the print, and it should be automatically available from login manager.

And if you wanna use it with any sudo invocation too, which isn’t officially supported by libfprint/fprintd, you can install pam-fprint-grosshack, you’ll require to add those two lines in the project README to your /etc/pam.d/system-auth.

As I posted above your post, the previous poster supplied me with the solution.

A quick addendum to the instructions that @Animesh_Sahu gave - you need to go to Settings > Users and add fingerprints before running fprintd-enroll.

All done. Fingerprint reader working as intended.
