How to use downloaded moderncv template with MiKTeX?

Question

I have downloaded a template named moderncv but don't know how to use it.

As I am a beginner, please suggest me the pdf's describing the solution.

Answer 1

The documentation for moderncvis still missing, but you will find some examples (look on CTAN) showing the usage (.tex files) and the results (.pdf files).

You can also search this side for the tag moderncv to find related questions to class moderncvthat should help you.

The examples and this side should allow you to build your own cv.

If you have problems to install the class for your distribution follow the given link in the comment of @henrique.

To check if you have moderncv installed on your system try to compile the following MWE:
