      Hi everyone!
      I wanted to install Steven Selph Scraper, so i selected it from "optional packages" in Retropie-Setup, but installation fails.

      The error I get is the following:
      "Could not successfully install Scraper for EmulationStation by Steven Selph (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/scraper/scraper not found)"

      I've installed Retropie 4.3.5

      How can I fix that?
      I desperately need your help guys :)

          @mitu I installed Retropie about one year ago, downloading the proper image from retropie website on my SDCARD.
          Today, before trying to install the Scraper i updated Retropie to 4.3.5 using "RetropieSetup".
          Update was completed succesfully.

          I'm using a Raspberry PI 3.

            @chuck_b Try installing it 'manually' - log in via SSH to the Pi or drop to a command prompt by pressing F4 in EmulationStation. Then execute the commands

            cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup
            sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper sources build install
            

            See if any errors pop-up, they should give an indication of what's wrong.

              @mitu there are the errors I get.
              Do you have any idea what's wrong?

                @chuck_b Looks like the Golang package could be out of date - can you try updating the golang supplementary package and re-run the scraper installation from the RetroPie-Setup menus ?

                  Actually, golang seems not installed.
                  I've tryed to install but after the installation I had the GOLANG environment variable not setted.

                  I'm not sure which is the proper way tu install golang

                    Didn't you try installing it from the retropie setup script ? I don't know if the GOLANG is set after installing it through the script, but the scraper uses it to run.

                      I installed golang by terminal.
                      Is it possibile to install it by retropie setup menu?

                        you can't call retropie_packages with multiple functions like that - it would have to be done individually, or in this case sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper will actually call depends, sources, build, install and configure

                            @chuck_b run sudo ./retropie_packages.sh scraper and post a log, or use retropie-setup and post the error log it mentioned when it fails (using a site like pastebin)

                                @chuck_b It looks like something is missing in the golang installation you have. The logs cannot find the packages that are included in the golang installation that Retropie installs:

                                
                                src/github.com/sselph/scraper/ds/mame.go:4:2: cannot find package "archive/zip" in any of:
                                        /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/scraper/src/github.com/sselph/scraper/vendor/archive/zip (vendor tree)
                                        /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/src/archive/zip (from $GOROOT)
                                        /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/scraper/src/archive/zip (from $GOPATH)

                                The default RetroPie golang install is in /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang, which contains these packages:

                                ls  -l /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/src/archive/zip/

                                  @chuck_b delete /opt/retropie/supplementary/golang/ and try again.

                                            @chuck_b that's not a complete log - but I can't see any errors in the part you posted. The part I wanted to see is not included.
