Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » https://pecl.php.net/package/mongodb
Linux, Unix, and macOS users may run the following command to install the extension:
$ sudo pecl install mongodb
On systems with multiple version of PHP installed (e.g. macOS default, Homebrew, » XAMPP), each version of PHP will have its own pecl command and php.ini file(s). Additionally, each PHP environments (e.g. CLI, web) may use separate php.ini files.
As of extension version 1.17.0, PECL will prompt for various
configure options. To install the extension with default
options in a non-interactive script, empty string input may be piped to
pecl install using the yes command:
$ yes '' | sudo pecl install mongodb
A complete list of supported configure options can be
found in the package.xml file included in the PECL
package. To install the extension with specific configure
options in a non-interactive script, the
--configureoptions option for
pecl install may be used:
$ sudo pecl install --configureoptions='with-mongodb-system-libs="yes" enable-mongodb-developer-flags="no"' mongodb
By default, installing the extension via PECL will use bundled versions of » libbson, » libmongoc, and » libmongocrypt and attempt to automatically configure them.
Note: If the build process fails to find an SSL library, check that the development packages (e.g.
libssl-dev) and » pkg-config are both installed. If that does not resolve the problem, consider using the manual installation process.
Finally, add the following line to the php.ini file for each environment that will need to use the extension:
extension=mongodb.so
As of Ubuntu 20.04, php-mongodb in the database is outdated and you'll need the PECL method to install latest version of MongoDB.
To do this in Ubuntu, you'll need the php-pear plugin and php-dev:
sudo apt install php-dev php-pear
then you can run:
sudo pecl install mongodbAn additional requirement might be pkg-config (on Ubuntu 14.04).
$ pecl install mongodb
...
configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/mongodb/configure --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config' failed
But:
$ apt-get install pkg-config
...
Setting up pkg-config (0.26-1ubuntu4) ...
$ pecl install mongodb
...

Installing '/usr/lib/php/20151012/mongodb.so'
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/mongodb-1.1.7
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=mongodb.so" to php.iniOn Ubuntu you can just do:
sudo apt-get install php-mongodb
or the same for specific PHP version:
sudo apt-get install php5.6-mongo
or
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mongodbUbuntu 16.04
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libsslcommon2-dev
sudo pecl install mongodb
add extension=mongodb.so in fpm and cli:
sudo vim /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/30-mongodb.ini
sudo vim /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/30-mongodb.ini
Restart service:
sudo systemctl restart php7.0-fpm
sudo systemctl reload nginx[Editor's note: fixed typo]
There are some additional requirements you need to build the pecl package.
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libsslcommon2-dev
