[Tex/LaTex] Windows 7, the package acmart could not be installed

acmacmarttexstudio

I'm using the ACM template here. I use the sample-sigconf.tex. When I open it and try to compile it, the Tex Studio reports the following error:

Process started: pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "sample-sigconf".tex

Unfortunately, the package acmart could not be installed.Please check the log file: C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/pdflatex.log

Process exited with error(s)

Every time I tried to compile, there is a pop up window titled Package Installation, saying acmart is missing and whether you want to install it. I always choose yes but it always reports cannot install like above.

What's wrong with my installation?

The log information is as follows:

This is not the entire log file. I just think these are the related messages.

I just find it is pretty simply. When I download the ACM template, there is a file called acmart.ins. Just cd to that directory and and open the command line and run:

tex acmart.ins

Then the acmart.cls is created. After that, there may be other packages waiting to install. Just try to compile the .tex file and follow the instructions in the pop-up messages.
