Install PHP extension by running this command on your terminal.

sudo pecl install mongodb

At the end, you will see following information.

Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.3/pecl/20180731/mongodb.so'
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/mongodb-1.5.3
Extension mongodb enabled in php.ini

and then restart your PHP service.
