title: PHP Mongodb installation issue on Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa
body: <p>I am new to mongodb , </p>
  
  <p>I am following one tutorial and proceeding  step by step , I installed mongodb and access it from shell .</p>
  
  <p>Then I am doing php mongodb installation part .
  I am doing it through composer , install composer and run the below command </p>
  
  
  
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>composer require mongodb/mongodb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>
  
  <p>I am getting this below error output in my terminal .</p>
  
  
  
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>$ composer require mongodb/mongodb
  Using version ^1.4 for mongodb/mongodb
  ./composer.json has been created
  Loading composer repositories with package information
  Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
  Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
  
    Problem 1
      - mongodb/mongodb 1.4.2 requires ext-mongodb ^1.5.0 -&gt; the requested PHP extension mongodb is missing from your system.
      - mongodb/mongodb 1.4.1 requires ext-mongodb ^1.5.0 -&gt; the requested PHP extension mongodb is missing from your system.
      - mongodb/mongodb 1.4.0 requires ext-mongodb ^1.5.0 -&gt; the requested PHP extension mongodb is missing from your system.
      - Installation request for mongodb/mongodb ^1.4 -&gt; satisfiable by mongodb/mongodb[1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2].
  
    To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
      - /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
      - /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/05-opcache.ini
      - /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/10-pdo.ini
      - /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-json.ini
      - /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-mysql.ini
      - /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-mysqli.ini
      - /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-pdo_mysql.ini
    You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
  
  Installation failed, deleting ./composer.json.
