Add LinkedIn and Xing link on a Modern CV

Question

I am using a moderncv template from here. I tried adding the LinkedIn link using

\social[linkedin]{john.doe} 

It is not producing the desire output. The reason being the definition for \social[linkedin] is missing in the .cls and .sty files. Can someone please help me add these LinkedIn and Xing links in this template?

Here is example to use fontawesome5 and hyperref package to type them in the document. Or You could also add them in the center of footer using fancyhdr package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{fontawesome5}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{
\fancyhead{}
\fancyfoot[c]{\parbox{10cm}{\centering
$\bullet$\quad\faLinkedinIn\space\href{https://www.linkedin.com/in/john.doe}{john.doe}
\qquad$\bullet$\quad\faXing\space\href{www.xing.com/profile/john.doe}{john.doe}
\qquad$\bullet$\quad\faXing\space\href{www.xing.com/profile/john.doe}{john.doe}\\[10pt]
\qquad$\bullet$\quad\faTwitter\space\href{www.twitter.com/jdoe}{jdoe}
\qquad$\bullet$\quad\faGithub\space\href{www.github.com/jdoe}{jdoe}
}}
\fancyfoot[r]{\parbox{1cm}{\thepage}}
}
\pagestyle{plain}

\begin{document}
\faLinkedinIn\space\href{https://www.linkedin.com/in/john.doe}{john.doe}

\faXing\space\href{www.xing.com/profile/john.doe}{john.doe}

\faTwitter\space\href{www.twitter.com/jdoe}{jdoe}

\faGithub\space\href{www.github.com/jdoe}{jdoe}
\end{document}
