* Note that to compile with XeLaTeX, you should use a command line as follows, per [the `pdfx` documentation](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx/pdfx.pdf): `xelatex -shell-escape -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -z 0" sample.tex`
* The samples here use the [Lato](http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/) and [Roboto Slab fonts](https://github.com/googlefonts/robotoslab). Feel free to use a different typeface package instead—often a different typeface will change the entire CV's feel.

## Setup (Ubuntu)
If you have an ubuntu (should work for .deb based operating systems too) you can follow these installation steps:

- `sudo apt install texlive-latex-extra -y` to install LaTeX.
- `latex --version` to confirm installation.
- `sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra` to install required project fonts **keep in mind that this will use about 1.2GB.**

- `mkdir -p ~/texmf/tex/latex` to create latex libraries directory
- `mv extracted_fontawesome5_directory ~/texmf/tex/latex` to move the extracted fontawesome5 directory to the libraries directory. Replace `extracted_fontawesome5_directory` with the path to the extracted content.
- `texhash ~/texmf` To update the database.

Finally, run `pdflatex sample.tex` to compile the Tex file into a PDF.
