Introduction to PIE

» PIE is an installer for PHP, that makes it possible to install third-party PHP extensions, that can then be easily installed and updated. It leverages the PHP extension repository part of » Packagist to find the source code to build the extension, or a Windows binary to download, if it exists. If it downloads the source code, it also knows how to build and install it.

After » installing the requirements and PIE itself, you can then install the MongoDB extension by running the following on the command line.

Example #1 Installing the MongoDB extension with PIE

pie install mongodb/mongodb-extension

The » "PIE Usage" documentation goes into this in more depth.
