 * Hello.
   This error seems to indicate that you don’t have a Zip extension installed
   on your Hosting Server.
 * Can you please make sure that your PHP configuration includes the Zip extension?
   
   You can check in our plugin’s System Info tab in your WP Dashboard, and see what
   it says under Server Environment/ “Zip extension”, it should say “installed.”

 * 
   If it says “not installed”, you should reach out to your hosting support and
   have them install it on the server.
 * For more information about this particular error, there’s this Stackoverflow 
   thread which I found helpful: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3872555/fatal-error-class-ziparchive-not-found-in](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3872555/fatal-error-class-ziparchive-not-found-in)
 * 
   We hope this helps. Let us know if you check and if you already have a Zip extension
   installed on the hosting server.Thank you.
