moderncv provides a documentclass for typesetting curricula vitae 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 one to define his own by modifying colors, fonts, icons, etc.
Most commands are defined in such a way that arguments are optional.
Until a decent manual is written, one can always look in the template.tex file for an example. It can be compiled to pdf via latexmk -pdf ./template.tex.
If using academicons in the template, you need to use a Xe(La)TeX or Lua(La)TeX engine for them to render. Otherwise an alternative will be used automatically.
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, feel free to join if you have questions or want to contribute. Development takes place at github.com/moderncv/moderncv.
