Friggeri CV

Macros like \sentry and \centry come from modified copies of friggeri-cv.cls that circulate online. They are not defined in every version of the class. The error means your .tex file was written for a different friggeri-cv.cls than the one you are compiling against. Fix it by using the class file that matches your document, or open this template on LetX, where the .cls and .tex ship together and compile cleanly.

XeLaTeX (or LuaLaTeX). The friggeri-cv class loads custom fonts via fontspec, which plain pdfLaTeX does not support. Compiling with pdfLaTeX gives font or fontspec errors. On LetX this template is preconfigured with the right compiler, so it builds out of the box.

The accent and header colors are defined near the top of friggeri-cv.cls (and some versions expose them as \documentclass options). Edit those color definitions and recompile. On LetX you can edit the class file in the same project and see the recompiled PDF in seconds.

Its source needs XeLaTeX: pdfLaTeX would stop on it. LetX reads the source when you open the template and sets the project to XeLaTeX, so it compiles as published without changing a setting.

It uses the friggeri-cv-a4 class, builds with XeLaTeX, and loads 9 packages, including xcolor, fontspec, unicode-math, tikz, parskip, textpos, biblatex and geometry. It ships its own friggeri-cv/friggeri-cv-a4.cls, which is part of the project when you open it.

It uses BibLaTeX, with Biber as the backend. References live in a .bib file, and the build runs the bibliography step for you, so citations and the reference list update every time you compile.

The compiled sample is 2 pages, from 5 files: 1 .tex, 1 .bib, 1 image, 1 class or style file, 1 other. Replace the sample text with yours and the layout stays.

Yes. "Open as Template" makes it your own LetX project: edit the LaTeX in the browser, invite collaborators to edit with you in real time, and download the compiled PDF. There is nothing to install.
