[Tex/LaTex] moderncv \social commands

Question

I would like to use moderncv \social commands without using moderncv as a document class. I tried using: \usepackage{moderncv} but then xelatex complains with: ! LaTeX Error: File `moderncv.sty' not found.

I would like to use these icons you can find in this footer: ftp://ftp.ctan.org/pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/examples/template-es.pdf

I'm using the MacTeX-2014 Distribution on my Mac.

If you are able to work with Xe- or LuaLaTeX, you may load the fontawesome-package which loads all the symbols used in the new style of moderncv:

% arara: lualatex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
