Which directory should I install the official PHP mongodb driver in?

I found the official driver here:

https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-driver

My problem is: I don't know which location should I be in to start the install process? I am on Mac OS X Snow Leopard and have both Mamp and Mamp pro on my machine.

Could someone please help me install this php mongodb driver?

The general case should be solved by running PHP, and seeing where it is actually looking for the extensions:

# php -i | grep extension_dir

On my (linux) server, this returns the line:

extension_dir => /usr/lib/php5/20090626 => /usr/lib/php5/20090626

The usual method of installing any such module is with Pecl - eg, pecl install mongo. Having to manually move it into place probably means there's something else wrong first.

Just like any other extension, it should be installed with "pecl install mongo". That will download and compile and install the driver in the correct directory for you. All you then need to do is add an "extension=mongo.so" in your php.ini.
