I want to use xindy for my glossaries. The command for calling xindy which I use is

xindy -L persian-variant1 -C utf8 -I xindy -M %.xdy -t %.glg -o %.gls %.glo | xindy -L persian-variant1 -C utf8 -I xindy -M %.xdy -t %.blg -o %.bls %.blo | xindy -L english -C utf8 -I xindy -M %.xdy -t %.alg -o %.acr %.acn

The error is

xindy.pl: input file main.acn does not exist at c:\texlive\2017\texmf-dist\scripts\xindy\xindy.pl line 547.

C:\texlive\2017\bin\win32\runscript.tlu:708: command failed with exit code 2: perl.exe c:\texlive\2017\texmf-dist\scripts\xindy\xindy.pl -L english -C utf8 -I xindy -M main.xdy -t main.alg -o main.acr main.acn

I update the texlive from 2015 to texlive2017, because somewhere in the web I read it may because of texlive 2015. Now, even with update texlive 2017. The same problem with exactly the same error.

Do you know how to resolve this problem?

The file containing the information required by xindy (main.acn) doesn't exist, which suggests you either haven't used \makeglossaries or you've omitted the acronym package option. – Nicola Talbot Mar 02 '18 at 16:12
@NicolaTalbot, I used \makeglossaries. But I don't know acronym package option. What is it? Thank you. – user85361 Mar 02 '18 at 18:33
@NicolaTalbot, Thank you very much. I added acronym package option to calling glossaries package and the problem solved easily. Thank again. – user85361 Mar 02 '18 at 18:39
