Making sure that memcache/memcached starts on reboot

Hello, I recently installed memcache and memcached on my server (CENTOS 7.3 cPanel & WHM 64.0). I used the updated instructions in the first post of the following thread: Installing memcache and memcached with EasyApache4 specifically:
yum install ea4-experimental yum install ea-php56-php-memcache yum install ea-php56-php-memcached
and
yum install ea-memcached
I then launched the memcached daemon with the following command:
memcached -d -u nobody -m 1024 127.0.0.1 -p 11211
I want to ensure that, if my server reboots, both memcache and the memcached daemon restart automatically. What steps must I take to ensure that? Thanks!

  There is only one daemon, 'memcached', where memcache is a PHP extension that allows you to connect to the memcached daemon, there is also a memcached PHP extension. The way you are starting memcached, it will not restart when you reboot the server. Run the following:
  kill -9 $(pgrep memcached) systemctl start memcached systemctl enable memcached
  however are you sure memcached is even installed? ea-memcached isn't an actual package as far as I am aware. memcached the daemon is available by default via centos repos. If you run:
  systemctl start memcached
  and see:
  # systemctl start memcached Failed to start memcached.service: Unit not found.
  then run:
  yum clean all yum -y install memcached systemctl start memcached systemctl enable memcached
  This will ensure memcached starts up upon rebooting.

  Hello, The "ea-memcached" package is currently only available for testing purposes. Ensure to review the yum install ea-memcached
  Once it's installed, you could review the following files to see how it's configured to start on CentOS 7:
  /usr/lib/systemd/system/memcached.service
  Thank you.
