+# AltaCV, yet another LaTeX CV/Résumé class
+
+v1.0 (19 August 2016), by LianTze Lim (liantze@gmail.com)
+
+(Thanks to [Nur](https://github.com/nurh) for the name.)
+
+It all started with this:

+
+Leonardo was talking about a [résumé of Marissa Mayer that Business Insider put together](http://www.businessinsider.my/a-sample-resume-for-marissa-mayer-2016-7/).
+I _knew_ I had to do something about it. And so AltaCV was born.
+
+## Samples
+
+This is how the re-created résumé looks like ([view on Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/read/gtqfpbwncfvp)):

+
+Though if you're creating your own CV/résumé, you'd probably prefer using the basic template ([view on Overeaf](https://www.overleaf.com/read/trgqjpwnmtgv)):

+
+## Requirements and Compilation
+
+* AltaCV uses [`fontawesome`](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontawesome) and [`academicons`](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/academicons); they're included in both TeX Live 2016 and MikTeX 2.9.
+* The samples here use the [Lato](http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/) font.
+* LuaLaTeX compilation is **strongly** recommended. If you want to use XeLaTeX instead, that's fine, but you may need to make sure `academicons.ttf` is installed _on_ your operating system, not just available in your `TEXMF` tree with the `academicons` LaTeX package.
