Standalone installation problem - script required cpan

Free Modsecurity rules - Comodo Web Application Fi
1

I have a problem with a fresh installation on Centos 6 without cPanel. When I run cwaf_client_install.sh there is no option 2 for a standalone installation as described in the manual. The installation stops at the point “CPAN is not configured”.

Questions:

  1. How to install it on a system without cPanel?
  2. Do I really need running the cwaf_client_install.sh script for a standalone install? Would it be enough just to add the cwaf rules directory to mod_sec configuration?

Thanks

Hello! Thanks for use our product.
Installation process
wget --no-check-certificate https://waf.comodo.com/cpanel/cwaf_client_install.sh

Then run the next command:

bash cwaf_client_install.sh

You should get the next message:

As cpan on your server is not configure, please run

/usr/bin/cpan

After that you’ll see cpan-shell:
cpan shell – CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9402)
Enter ‘h’ for help.
cpan[1]>

In this shell you should run next commands:

cpan[1]> o conf init
cpan[2]> o conf commit
cpan[3]> q

However, you can just add "Include /<path_to_rules>/rules/*.conf to your mod_security.conf.
We support mod_security versions 2.7.5 and higher.
