# 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:

<img width="600" alt="Sample CV" src="cv_sample.png">
</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
* LaTeXPDF 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
__Others:__ send a pull request with instructions for your distro.
