Can I install mautic with my shared hosting (cPanel)
Yes of-course, you can install it on cPanel hosting but wait, first you have to ask your hosting provider is they support mautic installation.
Because mautic needs some special extensions to be enable by php & some hosting provider only offers 30-50 email to send in a hour, so better to ask first to start.
Mautic Installation (Step by step)
You can install mautic by softaclause script installer easily under cPanel
but If you have non cpanel hosting like VPS, dedicated servers or cloud then needs some more technical knowledge to configure it properly.
Mautic installation with VPS, dedicated servers or cloud is the best option because most hosting provider give bulk email sending (unlimited email sending) with these servers. I recommend this option
