# Curriculum Vitae for Alan Orth
A CV written in LaTeX using the [moderncv](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/moderncv) class.

## Sample
Here's what it looks like with real data, using the "classic" style and blue color scheme:

</p>

## Why
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
* LaTeX → PDF ensures a consistent, beautiful layout
* Writing your CV in a source-based language means you can track it in git (w00t!)

## Usage
To "build" a PDF you simply type:

    $ make

To clean up all generated and intermediate content, type:

    $ make clean

## Prerequisites 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.

__On Arch Linux:__

    $ sudo pacman -Sy texlive-core texlive-latexextra texlive-fontsextra

__On Fedora:__

    $ sudo yum install texlive texlive-moderncv

__On Ubuntu:__

    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports
    $ sudo apt-get install texlive
    $ sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install texlive-latex-extra

__Mac OS X:__ download and install [BasicTeX](https://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html) (a minimal TeXLive distribution) and then:

    $ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/texlive/2017basic/bin/x86_64-darwin
    $ sudo tlmgr update --self
    $ sudo tlmgr install collection-fontsrecommended moderncv fontawesome
