-The big difference between Sonya's workflow is that if you want, you can convert from MD -> PDF in one step, rather than two. You can still go from MD -> HTML -> PDF, but if you don't want to have an HTML file, you don't have to.

-A lot has changed since Sonya wrote her blog post and shared her workflow, so here are some updates on how to get started and building/updating your own resume. 
-
-# Pre-Requisites. 
-## [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org) a universal document converter.
-
-```bash 
-    brew install pandoc 
-```
-
-## [Wkhtmltopdf](https://wkhtmltopdf.org)
-```
-    brew install wkhtmltopdf
-```
-
-## Markdown to HTML 
-```
-pandoc resume.md -f markdown -t html -c resume-stylesheet.css -s -o resume.html
+```sh
+# On macOS
+brew install pandoc wkhtmltopdf
+# On Linux (ubuntu/debian)
+sudo apt install pandoc wkhtmltopdf
 ```
 
 ## Markdown to PDF 
 
+```sh
+make
+# or...
+pandoc resume.md -f markdown -t pdf --pdf-engine-opt="--enable-local-file-access" --pdf-engine=wkhtmltopdf -c resume-stylesheet.css -s -o resume.pdf
 ```
-pandoc resume.md -f markdown -t pdf --pdf-engine=wkhtmltopdf -c resume-stylesheet.css -s -o resume.pdf
+
+## Markdown to HTML 
+```sh
+pandoc resume.md -f markdown -t html -c resume-stylesheet.css -s -o resume.html
 ```
 
 ## HTML to PDF 
 
 If you want to convert from HTML to PDF for some reason, you'll need to add a switch to wkhtmltopdf so that it works properly. 
 
-```
+```sh
 wkhtmltopdf --enable-local-file-access resume.html resume.pdf
 ```
-
-# TODO 
- - [x] [github action](https://github.com/pandoc/pandoc-action-example) will run and create the HTML and PDF file automatically. 
- - [ ] the Author field in the PDF, it seems to not work when the pdf-engine is set to wkhtmltopdf 
- - [ ] make a release or a package?
