 * Error:
    “The PHP Zip extension is not installed on your server. Without it the
   Garden Gnome Package plugin will not work. Please contact your server administrator.”
 * It’s looking for ZipArchive which was NOT specified in the requirements or mentioned
   anywhere in the installation steps.
