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.
`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:
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.
As the main goal is to keep this package alive, it is maintained in a loosely structured team.
