and i got

fatal error: 'unicode/usprep.h' file not found

I've found solutions using brew but on my mac I use mac ports, is there is a solution using port

Answer 1

Here is what I finally did, I've manually installed the php extension following those steps:

1.I've downloaded mongodb php source from https://pecl.php.net/package/mongodb

2.Uncompress the tgz and go into the directory

3./Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/phpize

4../configure --with-mongodb-sasl=no

5.make all

6.sudo make install

7.add extension=mongodb.so at the end of php.ini

et voila
