In most cases installing from pecl is the easiest way:

If you are using XAMPP, you may be able to compile the driver with the

Gentoo has a package for the PHP driver called dev-php5/mongo, which can be
installed with:

<div class="cdata"><pre>
$ sudo emerge -va dev-php5/mongo
</pre></div>

<p class="para">
If you use PECL, you may get an error that libtool is the wrong version.
Compiling from source you'll need to run aclocal and autoconf.

<div class="cdata"><pre>
$ phpize
$ aclocal
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

<h2 class="title">Red Hat</h2>
<p class="para">
This includes Fedora and CentOS.
</p>
<p class="para">
The default Apache settings on these systems do not let requests make
network connections, meaning that the driver will get "Permission denied"
errors when it tries to connect to the database. If you run into this, try
running:
<div class="example-contents">
<div class="cdata"><pre>
$ /usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
</pre></div>
</div>
Then restart Apache. (This issue has also occurred with SELinux.)
