# moderncv

## 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.
You can contact us in our matrix room [moderncv:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#moderncv:matrix.org), feel free to join if you have questions or want to contribute.
Development takes place at [github.com/moderncv/moderncv](https://github.com/moderncv/moderncv).
## Licence
`moderncv` is licensed under the [LPPL-1.3c](https://spdx.org/licenses/LPPL-1.3c.html).
## Origin
Original author: Xavier Danaux <xdanaux@gmail.com>
<br/>
Original repository: https://github.com/xdanaux/moderncv
This repository is a fork aiming to maintain `moderncv` inside CTAN, since upstream has been dead since 2016.
