Compiling source code locally #36

Does anyone know what command I can use to compile the LaTeX source? I get an error stating that I have to use XeLaTeX or LuaTex :(

saadq commented 6 years ago

Ahh, sorry I definitely need to document this somewhere...

Most of the templates just use the normal latex command while a few use xelatex or lualatex. Right now, you can just look at this file and look at the cmd property for each template to see which command you should run. If the template doesn't have a cmd property, that means it is just the normal latex command.

This should be fixed in the new version. When you download the LaTeX source, a README.md file will be included in the zip that will look something like this:

Resumake Template 4

LaTeX code generated at resumake.io

Usage

To generate a PDF from this LaTeX code, navigate to this folder in a terminal and run:

xelatex resume.tex

Requirements

You will need to have xelatex installed on your machine.

Alternatively, you can use a site like ShareLaTeX to build and edit your LaTeX instead.
