Update TeXstudio moderncv class

moderncvtexstudio

I wish to use moderncv \social command which is not recognized so I assume I have to update the class, how do I go about doing it with TeXstudio? I haven't downloaded any package for moderncv to begin with, just used \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{moderncv} and it worked, but the \social command is not recognized so I'm wondering on what I should be doing?

You need to update your TeX distribution (MiKTeX or TeX Live). TeXstudio is only the editor, the editor calls your TeX distribution to compile the code.

Check the first line of your resulting .log file, there you can read the used version of class moderncv. The current one is version 2.2.0.

Alternative

You can define a user command:

Go To Options → Configure TeXstudio. In the window that opens do the following:

Choose Build and click.
Click Add under User Commands
Fill : user1: Make Glossaries and "C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/makeglossaries.exe" %. You can browse to the exe file also. Note that the path may be different for you. Don't forget the % at the end.
Press OK and come out

Now you will have a user menu for Make Glossaries with a short cut:

Now you can pdflatex Make Glossaries and pdflatex.

Happy Glossing :)

Additional note:

As noted by Speravir, you have to specify "texindy.bat" %.idx instead of texindy.exe %.idx as in the following window.

Edit:

There were some errors in your code. Try this:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage[acronym,nomain,xindy]{glossaries}

\makeglossaries

\author{author}
\title{title}

\newacronym[longplural=Inmunoglobulinas]{IG}{IG}{Inmunoglobulina}

\begin{document}

test la \gls{IG} es vital en la protección del ternero hay 5 tipos de \glspl{IG}

\printglossaries

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Getting errors using moderncv

I can see several missunderstandings in your question.

With windows you have the standard directory c:/documents. Create there an sub directory, for example latex. There you can write your own tex code, for example mwe.tex. You can open and compile this file c:/documents/latex/mwe.tex with your editor, TeXWorks, TeXnicCenter, WinEDT etc.
Class moderncv should you only install with the installing or updating or package manager program of MiKTeX. Theese programs knew better that you where and how to install class moderncv.
After correct installation/update of MiKTeX you can compile your file mwe.tex, because now MiKTeX is able to find and run class moderncv.cls and related files.
moderncv has been changed and uses now font awesomefont to display symbols for a telephone etc. After the first change there was a bug resulting with the message about awesomefonttwo. That bug was fixed. To get no warning messages use LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX to compile: lualatex mwe.tex.
If you want to compile with pdflatex use the following modified MWE (see my changes marked with <====== in the code).

Changed mwe.tex to be compiled with pdflatex:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv} 

\moderncvstyle{casual} 
\moderncvcolor{grey} 

\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry} 
\name{Joe}{Doe}
\address{My address}
\mobile{000}

\moderncvicons{marvosym} % marvosym awesome % for pdflatex! <===========
\setlength{\footskip}{37pt} % no more \footskip warning <===============


\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
 Hej
\end{document}

It compiles on my current MiKTeX 2.9 with moderncv 2.0.0 with only three warnings (caused in another bug in moderncv which has to be corrected by the author of the class) and no errors.
