@zod041 Try this https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroPie-Ubuntu-16.04-LTS-x86-Flavor It looks like it should work on Mint too as it is an Ubuntu / Debian fork.

@AlexMurphy Linux mint 18 is much newer so there may be dependencies not met, etc. I know it for sure works on Ubuntu 16.04

@zod041 if you want assistance you need to provide useful information including the exact steps you took in attempting to install and where your hang up is. One step at a time.

@zod041 just launch emulationstation from a terminal or type rpie on the mintMenu.
