Listing the debug log for the specific errors you encounter when trying to activate would help GREATLY.

From what I can tell, ClassicPress is a port of WP 4.9.

Looking through the releases for Kirki, WP 4.9 support is specifically mentioned in the 3.0.X series of releases, and WP 5.0+ starts showing up in the 3.1.X series of Kirki releases.

If the latest 4.X versions of Kirki will not install, I'd try one of those older versions, starting with the 3.1 series, and if that didn't work, then specifically the 3.0 series which clearly specify WP 4.9 support:

Kirki 3.1.9 Kirki 3.0.45 Last Release that specifically mentions WP 4.9

With those debug log messages, perhaps additional help could be offered getting a more recent version of Kirki up and running for you ;)
