I have downloaded a template named moderncv but don't know how to use it.
As I am a beginner, please suggest me the pdf's describing the solution.

Actually it was just an error in the Makefile. Instead of using $TEXINPUTS I should have used $(TEXINPUTS). This is the corrected Makefile:
all:
TEXINPUTS=./style//:$(TEXINPUTS) pdflatex -halt-on-error -output-directory ./publish/ ./cv.tex
clean:
rm -rf ./publish/*
And this is my current Makefile:
PUBLISH=./publish/
PKGS=TEXINPUTS=./style//:$(TEXINPUTS)
LATEX=/usr/bin/pdflatex
LATEXOPT=-halt-on-error -interaction errorstopmode -output-directory $(PUBLISH) ./cv.tex
BIBTEX=/usr/bin/bibtex
BIBTEXOPT=$(PUBLISH)cv
all: clean compile bibliography recompile open
clean:
rm -rf $(PUBLISH)*
compile:
$(PKGS) $(LATEX) $(LATEXOPT)
bibliography:
$(BIBTEX) $(BIBTEXOPT)
recompile:
$(PKGS) $(LATEX) $(LATEXOPT)
$(PKGS) $(LATEX) $(LATEXOPT)
open:
xdg-open $(PUBLISH)cv.pdf
And is working perfectly :)
Here's another option. I have slightly modified your code, so substitute yours with this one:

This is the result
inserting that code in a MWE:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv} % possible options include font size ('10pt', '11pt' and '12pt'), paper size ('a4paper', 'letterpaper', 'a5paper', 'legalpaper', 'executivepaper' and 'landscape') and font family ('sans' and 'roman')
% moderncv themes
\moderncvstyle{classic} % style options are 'casual' (default), 'classic', 'oldstyle' and 'banking'
\moderncvcolor{blue} % color options 'blue' (default), 'orange', 'green', 'red', 'purple', 'grey' and 'black'
%\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} % to set the default font; use '\sfdefault' for the default sans serif font, '\rmdefault' for the default roman one, or any tex font name
%\nopagenumbers{} % uncomment to suppress automatic page numbering for CVs longer than one page
% character encoding
%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % if you are not using xelatex ou lualatex, replace by the encoding you are using
%\usepackage{CJKutf8} % if you need to use CJK to typeset your resume in Chinese, Japanese or Korean
% adjust the page margins
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}
%\setlength{\hintscolumnwidth}{3cm} % if you want to change the width of the column with the dates
%\setlength{\makecvtitlenamewidth}{10cm} % for the 'classic' style, if you want to force the width allocated to your name and avoid line breaks. be careful though, the length is normally calculated to avoid any overlap with your personal info; use this at your own typographical risks...

The documentation for
