How to properly install scraper?

Georodin 0

System
Raspberry Pi 4B
retropie-buster-4.8-rpi4_400.img (fresh install)

Error
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/
When using:
sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh > Manage packages > opt > scraper > Install from source

I got first the error that the included golang version is outdated, because some math utility is missing in the RetroPie included golang.
So I circumvented this by replacing \home\pi\RetroPie-Setup\scriptmodules\supplementary\golang.sh with the newer version from git https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/golang.sh

But now I get the error that something in the tmp/scraper/scraper is missing. Is it because scraper is deprecated? Or do I need to use another golang version?

@Georodin-0 if you're on a "fresh" (as in non-updated) 4.8 install, then try updating RetroPie-Setup script (from the main menu of within the script itself) and then try install scraper again.

There was a change ...huh ... one year ago today, exactly, that fixed a broken build step: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/6f739fb3cb9dea223d781c2c7149a8ed61ac76fc

If after that it's still not working for you, I recommend and use skyscraper instead. Not because I know of anything wrong with the other one, just that it's the one I am more familiar with.

@Georodin-0 As you might have already noticed: Run the scraper install twice works around your issues. Rationale: The scraper install script chokes when it deviates into the golang install first.

I could reproduce your error when removing the golang package, remove scraper package then install scraper again.

But as @sleve_mcdichael noticed skyskraper seems to be more popular.

@Lolonois
This did work, thanks :)
I don't know what I did, but I made a fresh RetroPie flash again, then run the install twice and it worked
