**Note:** Keep in mind that you have to set up your emulators separately from EmulationStation, the es_systems.cfg file assumes that your emulator environment is properly configured.
On Unix it's assumed that RetroArch is using the default configuration directory location, i.e. the cores should be located in ~/.config/retroarch/cores. If you've installed RetroArch via a Snap package, make a symlink from the Snap .config directory:
```
ln -s ~/snap/retroarch/current/.config/retroarch ~/.config/

There's a log file in the home directory as well named **es_log.txt**, please refer to this in case of any errors as it should provide information on what went wrong.
After ES finds at least one game file, it will populate that game system and the application will start. If there are no game files, an error messsage will be shown, explaining that you need to install your game files into your ROM directory. You will also be given a choice to change the ROM directory if you don't want to use the default path. Please refer to the game installation procedure below in this document for more information regarding this.
