+===== Introduction =====
+The library [[http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Libfprint|libfprint]] provides support for several fingerprint readers. Even though this project wasn't officially aimed to embedded systems, I was able to successfully install it and run all of it's applications using U.are.U fingerprint readers from [[http://www.digitalpersona.com|Digital Persona]].
+==== Install dependencies ====
+Libfprint makes use of four main libraries which are: LIBUSB, CRYPTO, GLIB and IMAGEMAGICK. First of all, you need libusb-1.0 installed on your system. Download the latest package sources (1.0.8 at the time) and install them:
+<code>
+cd /opt
+wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.8/libusb-1.0.8.tar.bz2
+tar jxvf libusb-1.0.8.tar.bz2
+cd libusb-1.0.8/
+./configure --prefix=/usr
+make
+make install
+</code>
+Now install:
+<code>
+apt-get install libusb-dev libssl-dev libglib2.0-dev imagemagick libmagick9-dev
+</code>
+Be patient, installing ''imagemagick'' can take a while, I ran into some trouble with packages being corrupted, simply remove them and install them again.
+==== Compiling libfprint ====
+Now that you have everything set up, download libfprint, compile it and install it:
+<code>
+cd /opt
+wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/fprint/files/libfprint/v0.0.6/libfprint-0.0.6.tar.bz2
+tar jxvf libfprint-0.0.6.tar.bz2
+cd libfprint-0.0.6/
+./configure --prefix=/usr
+make
+make install
+</code>
+==== Examples ====
+After you have compiled and installed the library, go ahead and compile the examples:
+<code>
+cd examples/
+make
+</code>
+That's it! Go test them!
