I want to install Retropie, (that's why I bought the pi) but lost the SD/MicroSD adaptor, so I would like to know if there is a way for me to install retropie using only the pi. thanks ahead of time!

Yes this is possible if Raspbian is installed on your MicroSD card.
sudo apt-get install git lsb-release
cd
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git
cd RetroPie-Setup
chmod +x retropie_setup.sh
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
But if you have nothing on your MicroSD card you have to buy a new MicroSD card adapter.

There is NOOBS running raspbian on my microsd card, but when i get to <chmod +x retropie_setup.sh sudo ./retropie_setup.sh> it says <Sorry - Raspbian/Debian Stretch (and newer) is not yet supported on the RPI
Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.1 (stretch) Release: 9.1 Codename: stretch> what now?
