ARM64 Geckodriver for Linux

Question

I require an ARM64 version of geckodriver for Linux. I am aware you can compile it yourself, however I have no idea how to do that.

I have also found this post... if you look at the accepted answer, it is exactly what I need, but is not explained in detail as I am not a linux user. I have downloaded the tar.xz (specifically, this archive) file and extracted it so far, but am unable to locate the Geckodriver within the archive.

Can someone tell me the path to find Geckodriver within this archive and how I can move that into /usr/bin location. Failing that, any information on how to compile my own Geckodriver using a Dockerfile.

Thanks
