## Why
2012-12-04 08:11:53 +01:00
I decided to start keeping my CV in LaTeX because:
* I can never find my CV when I need it
* I have dozens of files named `resume.doc` on my computer
2015-06-11 22:04:16 +02:00
* LaTeX -> PDF ensures a consistent, beautiful layout
2012-12-04 08:11:53 +01:00
* Writing your CV in a source-based language means you can track it in git (w00t!)

## Usage
2012-12-04 08:11:53 +01:00
To "build" a PDF you simply type:
2015-06-12 14:07:02 +02:00
$ make
2012-12-04 08:11:53 +01:00
To clean up all generated and intermediate content, type:
2015-06-12 14:07:02 +02:00
$ make clean
2012-12-19 21:56:24 +01:00

## Pre-requistes for building

Depending on your GNU/Linux distribution the package names may be different. Basically, you need the `texlive` package, as well as whichever "extras" package contains the moderncv stuff.
