Installing mod_evasive on a server running cPanel

We would like to install mod_evasive (zdziarski.com/blog/?page_id=442) on CentOS having cPanel.

We have done this on other servers not running cPanel without a problem.

However, on cPanel severs it fails. The main reason is the non-standard way in which cPanel names the applications. for instance the installation is complaining about missing httpd installation. We have apache running but it seems it can't be recognised:

Code:

  Error: Package: mod_evasive-1.10.1-22.el7.x86_64 (epel)

How can we ensure Apache is recognised?
