A full TeX distribution is required to compile your TeX documents. Various distributions for different operating systems (Windows, Mac, *nix) are available, but the recommended suggestion is to install it directly from TeX Live.

On Linux you can install TeX from upstream which is recommended because it returns the most up-to-date version of TeX Live. You can also run sudo apt-get install texlive-full but it'll generally not give you the most up-to-date version.

On macOS you can easily install Tex Live by installing MacTeX distribution or, if you have Homebrew, by running brew install texlive which will install the full version, or brew install basictex for a minimal TeX working environment.

If you don't want to install all of the dependencies on your system, you can just simply use Docker (see below).

At a command prompt, run:

xelatex {your-cv}.tex

Or using Docker:

docker run --rm --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -i -w "/doc" -v "$PWD":/doc thomasweise/texlive make

In both case, this will result in the creation of {your-cv}.pdf
