Arduino code works on MacBook Pro but not on Raspberry Pi 3B+ - serialization

Question

I'm working on a project where I'm attempting to use an Adafruit optical fingerprint sensor, and I have it working great on my Mac. When I move the same wiring and code over the RPI, the code first doesn't compile, it says I must include the SoftwareSerial Library. When I add that, the code successfully uploads but then fails to find the fingerprint sensor. I'm using port dev/ttyACM0 on the RPI. I am using an example sketch for the fingerprint library shown below. I know the wiring works as it functions as intended on Mac. I'm a little new to this so help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This is an example sketch for our optical Fingerprint sensor
Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit BMP085 Breakout

These displays use TTL Serial to communicate, 2 pins are required to
interface
