      @PIHACKER Modify the scriptmodule and change the source branch from 2.7.6 to stable.

        @mitu Thanks a lot for the quick response. I am trying to locate the script module for ES and am not able to locate it. Can you share the location of the file?

          The install script for Emulationstation is in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/emulationstation.sh.

                There is only one shell script in the supplementary directory called inputconfiguration.sh. There does not seem to be any other script file. I apologize for being too naive about this, Its my first time setting up the retropie

                    I got another issue while trying to run the retropie_setup script. The error that I am getting is the same as the error mentioned in this thread (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21175/went-back-to-stable-es-branch-from-dev-trying-to-use-internal-scraper-now-results-in-crash-also-cannot-install-dev-from-source-anymore). Is there any solution for this in the new releases?

                      @PIHACKER Your distro is missing the rapidjson-dev package, the reason why this version is not installing on 16.04. Try this workaround.
