First, you need to install Fail2Ban. For Redhat/Fedora use yum.

yum install fail2ban

CentOS: fail2ban is not available from CentOS. It will have to be manually downloaded. You can get it from EPEL, the Fedora repository.

 wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/epel//6/i386/fail2ban-0.8.11-2.el6.noarch.rpm
 rpm -ih --percent fail2ban-0.8.11-2.el6.noarch.rpm

You might have some dependencies to install, like

 yum install gamin-python
 wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/epel//6/i386/python-inotify-0.9.1-1.el6.noarch.rpm
 rpm -ih --percent python-inotify-0.9.1-1.el6.noarch.rpm

These are the most common 2 needed for CentOS users. Get them and any others possibly needed then try to install fail2ban again.

ALL LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS - Fail2ban is written in Python, thus no compilation is required. You can even run Fail2ban without installing it. It can always be obtained directly from http://www.fail2ban.org
