how do i set up the fingerprint?

i saw a link for this https://github.com/rindeal/libfprint-vf … ary-driver but the aur installation fails

i also saw a link for https://github.com/PetreBoboc/vfs495/ but it is deleted

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fpri … roprietary does not support

after these dead ends where can i get the driver?
