Simple module for keeping your social profile URLs in one manageable area.
Recommended installation through composer, within your Magento root directory enter the following:
composer require alvis/magento2-social
Alternatively you can install manually by following these steps:
- Install the magento2-core dependency module, following the README
- Now you can return to install this module, download the repo zip file and extract
- You should have a folder called 'magento2-social-master'. Rename this folder to 'Social'
- Under your Magento site folder create a new directory 'app/code/Alvis'
- Upload the module to this folder 'app/code/Alvis/Social'
php bin/magento module:enable Alvis_Core
php bin/magento module:enable Alvis_Social
You may also need to re-compile:

php bin/magento setup:di:compile
The module configuration can be found through the main menu under Alvis.
