    Thank you!

    Just in case someone need to do that on a mac (I'm using Lyx 2 and Text-Live 2008), here are the paths:

    Texhash: /Library/TeX/Root/bin/universal-darwin/

    To copy the article layout:
    cp /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/layouts/article.layout ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.0/layouts/acmtrans2e.layout

    To copy the .cls into the tex folder:
    sudo cp ~/Downloads/acm_proc_article-sp.cls /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/local/acmtrans2e.cls
