For thoses running Linux with apache2 you need to install php-mysql

apt-get install php-mysql

or if you are running ubuntu 16.04 or higher just running the following command will be enought, no need to edit your php.ini file

apt-get install php7.2-mysql

If you are running ubuntu 15.10 or below:

Edit your php.ini file, it's located at /etc/php/[version]/apache2/php.ini and search for pdo_mysql you might found something like this

;extension=pdo_mysql.so

Change it to this

extension=pdo_mysql.so

Save the file and restart apache

service apache2 restart

Check that it's available in your phpinfo()
