How to include social's icons like gitHub and linkedin in ModernCv?

Question

I am using modernCv, classic style and I need to include my linkedIn and gitHub icons next to my account address in my cv.
None of the solutions mentioned here nor here have worked for me.
Do you have any suggestions?

Package/font fontawesome provides these symbols:

documentclass{article}
usepackage{fontawesome}

begin{document}
faGithub, faLinkedin,
faStackExchange, and faStackOverflow
end{document}

In my case the linked solution did work for me (maybe your LaTeX distribution was too old?), so I'll mention it for people that arrive on this page. You can use the social command already included in Moderncv. Taken from this example in the "manual":
social[linkedin]{john.doe}
social[xing]{john_doe}
social[twitter]{jdoe}
social[github]{jdoe}
social[gitlab]{jdoe}
social[skype]{jdoe}

You can also customize the url using something like:
social[linkedin][www.linkedin.com/in/myname/]{My name}
