I am a beginner in LaTeX and excuse me if my question is basic. I have downloaded the template of ACM Siggconf. The template is using \documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}.

I have seen the text below on the ACM website. 

Please note that the following packages are included in the "acmart" package:
amsmath
array
booktabs
caption
fancyvrb
graphicx
hypdoc
libertine
longtable
newtxmath
tabularx
zi4

There is no \usepackage in the template. My question is that when I use \usepackage{acmart} I get the error below:

! LaTeX Error: File `acmart.sty' not found.Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,or enter new name. (Default extension: sty) Enter file name:! Emergency stop.<read > \usepackage

I need to use the two packages of tabular and booktabs. when I add them separately like \usepackage{booktabs} and \usedpackage{tabularx} I do not get any error. but Why I get error when I use acmart package? How to solve it? when the document class is acmart, shouldn't it include the package acmart automatically? Then why I need to again add \usepackage{acmart}?

  • amsart is a class not a package, therefore you cannot load it with \usepackage{acmart}. – DG' May 24 '20 at 20:23
  • @DG' -- think you meant acmart, not amsart. But otherwise, it's correct. When one is using a \documentclass with a particular name, it is (almost?) unknown to have a package of the same name. – barbara beeton May 24 '20 at 22:17
  • @barbarabeeton oops, that was a typo – DG' May 24 '20 at 22:19
