## A modern curriculum vitae class for LaTeX
|
|
|
|
The `moderncv` package provides a document class for typesetting applications (curricula vitae and cover letters) in various styles. `moderncv` aims to be both straightforward to use and customizable, providing five ready-made styles (classic, casual, banking, oldstyle and fancy) and allowing you to define your own by modifying colors, fonts, icons, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
`moderncv` should already be included in your installed LaTeX distribution.
|
|
If not, you can get the tarball of the package from [CTAN](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/moderncv).
|
|
Alternatively, you can also build the package from source by cloning the its [GitHub repository](https://github.com/moderncv/moderncv) and compiling the included LaTeX files:
|
|
```
|
|
latexmk -pdf ./template.tex manual/moderncv_userguide.tex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
To get started on your own CV, use and modify the template file `template.tex`.
|
|
The user guide can be found in the folder `manual` and contains additional information on what the document class offers.
|
|
Take a look at it to see if this package suits your needs.
|
|
|
|
If you are using the [`academicons`](https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/academicons) package in the template, you will need to use a Xe(La)TeX or Lua(La)TeX engine to render the icons. Otherwise, an alternative icon package will be used automatically.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
As the main goal is to keep this package alive, it is maintained in a loosely structured team.
