      Pi Model or other hardware: Pi 3, Model B, no overclock
      Power Supply used: 5V, 2A
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.3.5
      Built From: Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected: Anker keyboard
      Controller used: 8bitdo SNES30
      Error messages received:

      Could not successfully install Scraper for EmulationStation by Steven Selph
(/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/scraper/scraper not found)

      Guide used:

      and https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/scraper
      Emulator: EmulationStation
      Attachment of config files: https://pastebin.com/G0tReBH4
      How to replicate the problem:

      • Following the guides provided (either one) error is received every time.
      • Log file created everytime it errors out
      • Errors out at the same point every attempt
      • I am using sudo to initiate the setup
      • I am unable to add the /scraper folder using sftp with admin login

      There are possibly several issues that caused this, I will list here everything I noticed that could be related

      • SD card had error and would not re-format while conducting a fresh install
      • I may not have expanded the default RetroPie disk usage (cannot confirm as SD card was corrupt)
      • Fresh install with new SD card solved the issue

        @frankenbenz Have you tried installing the scraper using the setup script through the menu in Emulation Station?
        Go into Configuration > RetroPie SetUp . UPDATE RETROPIE -SETUP SCRIPT then Manage Packages > Optional > Scraper

          I have used the menu in Emulation Station as well. I did re-run the update setup script just now and then re-ran the scraper through the menu. Same issue present.

            @frankenbenz Odd. I just un-installed and re-installed with no issues. Obviously this may not be the same as a fresh install but it threw no errors at all.

                I did a fresh install and it is working okay now. I did pick up a new SD card as my previous one was having an error while reformatting.

                Issue is solved.

                  @frankenbenz Good to hear. If there was a general issue with the scraper install we definitely would have heard more about it by now.
                  Sometimes things just get screwy for no obvious reason. Computers, eh?
