The repository refers to the moderncv repository, created by Xavier Danaux. Thanks man!!
To correctly clone my CV the first step is to clone my repository with:
clone https://github.com/gbiolo/cv-it.git
After this, you have to initialize the submodule with:
git submodule init
Last step is to download the submodule with:
git submodule update
Just change directory to the cv-it one (where you cloned my curriculum repository) and lunch:
pdflatex curriculum.tex
That's all folks!!
My Curriculum Vitae will be saved with the name:
curriculum.pdf
To build the presentation letter
pdflatex letter.tex
The letter will be saved as
letter.pdf
Warning! The text of my presentation letter is totally unsensed. Use your creativity to write your own.
The size of the output PDF file created by the Tex compiler usually is greater than a normal PDF file.
To reduce the file file you can use the great Ghostscript, that is installed by default in the major Linux distributions (Debian confirmed).
The reduced output file size will be even 90% smaller than the original one.
The syntax is as easy as this:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=curriculum_compressed.pdf curriculum.pdf
The previous command must be executed inside the directory containing the compiled PDF file.
The same command can be used with the presentation letter, just replacing the curriculum vitae PDF files with the presentation letter ones.
I use Texlive and Debian GNU/Linux, so the following steps are based on this OS and Latex compiler.
To check if Texlive is installed on your system execute this on your command shell:
pdflatex -v
The output should be something similar to this:
pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/Debian)
kpathsea version 6.2.2

Compiled with poppler version 0.48.0
If Texlive is not installed or the compilation of the LaTex source failes, try to execute the following TexLive installation command:
apt-get --no-install-recommends install texlive-base texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended latexmk cm-super
The --no-install-recommends flag avoid the installation of Texlive giant documentation. The previous command, if none of the packages is already installed, will download more or less 100MB of packages (full installation download size is over 1GB).
After the installation try again to check TexLive version with pdflatex -v.
