3. Read the Instruction files `LayoutInstructions.md` and `CVDataInstructions.md` to see how to construct your CVRoller Layout file and your file(s) of CV data. Also see the files in the `bells_and_whistles_example` and `simple_example` folders for guidance. `bells_and_whistles` includes pretty much every feature CVRoller has to offer, so you can see how everything works, but it's a bit of a mess. `simple_example` is a lot more like what your own CV file is likely to look like.
4. Create a CVRoller Layout file and save it. Put it in a folder.
5. Create any data files you may want - spreadsheets, JSON files, .bib, profile images, etc., and put them in the same folder.
6. Open up CVRoller.py in a Python instance. Go to lines 35 and 36 and tell CVRoller the name of the folder your stuff is in (this can be set to `layoutfolder = ''` if CVRoller.py is in the same folder as your stuff), and the name of your layout file (by default `layoutfile = 'layout.txt'``.

7. Run CVRoller.py! It will output all finished files to the working directory.
8. Note that if you're creating a PDF file and you successfully make some .tex output but there's no PDF, try opening the .tex in a LaTeX editor and compiling directly. It will give you more detailed error messages than CVRoller can. One I've run into is not being able to locate fontawesome. This can be fixed by uninstalling the fontawesome package and re-installing it as a *non*-administrator. Another is characters in the original data that LaTeX can't parse, which can be fixed by using more standard characters in the original data.
