Trying to install v4l2loopback on Fedora 42

I have tried to do as many things as i can think of, but do not know where I am getting stuck and looking for guidance. just switched over from a windows machine, and am trying to get OBS working for a virtual camera. option was not available, went digging online and found that I would need to install the v412loopback. however, when trying to follow any type of the tutorial or how to, none of the commands work. Is the sentry/v412loopback deprecated? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can install it from RPM Fusion:
Enabling the RPM Fusion repositories :: Fedora Docs

sudo dnf install v4l2loopback

Or build it from Git with DKMS:
Header version to match kernel version - #2 by vgaetera

the second option worked, thank you so very much. ill look into why it worked.
