I am getting this error "pdo_mysql extension is not installed"

Question

When i use php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy in ubuntu i am getting this error "pdo_mysql extension is not installed" so please help me?

Answer 1

@SHPatel is right. There is an answer on askubuntu that gives instructions HERE

I am going to assume that you have PHP 7 installed, otherwise you would never have gotten a Magento 2 instance running. In which case, it is 3 easy steps:

1. If it isn't already, install php7.0-mysql:

   sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql
   

2. It is possible that it was already installed but the pdo_mysql module wasn't enabled. Either way, enable pdo_mysql:

   sudo phpenmod pdo_mysql
   

3. Then just restart Apache:

   sudo service apache2 restart
   

Hope this helps!

Answer 2
