        <h2>Command Line Tool</h2>
        <p>We've built a CLI (Command Line Interface) which is supported by OSX, Linux and Windows. To create your own resume, install <code>resume-cli</code> from <b>npm</b>:</p>
        <p><code>npm install -g resume-cli</code></p>
        <h3>Exporting</h3>
        <p>The command line tool uses an ecosystem of modules that we've open sourced to convert your resume to different formats:</p>
        <p><code>resume export resume.pdf</code> (<i>Currently broken, help needed</i>)</p>
        <p><code>resume export resume.html</code></p>

        <h2>Hosting</h2>
        <p>JSON Resume offers a hosting service that renders your <code>resume.json</code> to any theme you would like. <br /><br />
        e.g. <a href="https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis">http://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis</a></p>
        <p>All you have to do is create a Gist on Github named <codfe>resume.json</code>. <br /> <br />
          e.g. <a href="https://gist.github.com/thomasdavis/c9dcfa1b37dec07fb2ee7f36d7278105">https://gist.github.com/thomasdavis/c9dcfa1b37dec07fb2ee7f36d7278105</a>
        </p>
        <p>Our hosting service will automatically detect this when you access <code>https://registry.jsonresume.org/{your_github_username}</code>
        </p>
        <p>To set a theme, just add to your <code>resume.json</code>;<br />
          <code>{ "meta": { "theme": "elegant" } }</code>
