#### Fedora

[![Copr build status](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hamishw96/linux-id/package/linux-id/status_image/last_build.png)](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hamishw96/linux-id/package/linux-id/)

On Fedora systems, you can use COPR to install linux-id:
``` bash
sudo dnf copr enable hamishw96/linux-id
sudo dnf install linux-id
```
By default, linux-id uses pinentry for presence confirmation. To use fingerprint
authentication via fprintd instead:

1. Ensure a fingerprint is enrolled: `fprintd-enroll`
2. Override the systemd service command: `systemctl --user edit linux-id.service`
3. Add the following lines:
```
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/linux-id --auth fprintd
```
4. Restart the service: `systemctl --user restart linux-id.service`
