Hi all,

I am a complete noob with LaTeX but a friend of mine recently put me on to it for editing/creating CVs. I dowloaded the Deedy Resume/CV template (http://www.latextemplates.com/template/deedy-resume-cv) and tried to compile it in TeXShop on my Mac. When I first tried to typeset it, just to see what it would look like unedited, I was getting a simple white page with "Brief Article" written on it (pic attached). I tried to comment some things out and typeset it again but this time it didn't compile anything and I just got the dialog box with some more text in it (another pic attached).

I have a feeling it is a very simple and obvious solution but as you can probably tell, I'm not very good with this software. I just want to be able to use the template and create my CV using my own information. Could anyone help me get started? Thanks in advance.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Ok, so in the box that appeared, I clicked "Goto Error" and it opened another window (deedy-resume.cls) and took me to that line (pic attached).

Welcome to the forum, that is not the class file as currently hosted on LaTeX-templates.com

Please check out the latest zip file and start with this template.

Hi Mescal,

welcome to the forum!

I confirm, what Johannes said. Another point: within the document class, that .cls file, you loaded another document class (article), that's why the error occured. You mixed code in some way. Perhaps figure that out or post the actual code here.
