             sudo apt-get install unzip
   and repeat step 3

5. When EmulationStation is running, press the START button, then navigate to UI SETTINGS, then navigate to THEME SET and select Wii, (by press A) then clicking down on BACK and exiting back to EmulationStation.  There may be a few seconds pause when you select the theme, or go back to the main screen.
