   wget http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/16.04/dependenices/libuv/v1.8.0/libuv-dev_1.11.0-1_amd64.deb
   wget http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/16.04/cassandra/v2.4.2/cassandra-cpp-driver_2.4.2-1_amd64.deb
   wget http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/16.04/cassandra/v2.4.2/cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.4.2-1_amd64.deb

Install PHP Cassandra extension (Choose One)

PECL

   sudo pecl install cassandra
   sudo sh -c 'echo "extension=cassandra.so" > /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/cassandra.ini'
   sudo phpenmod cassandra

Build from Source

   git clone https://github.com/datastax/php-driver.git
   cd php-driver/ext
   phpize
   ./configure
   make
   sudo make install
   echo "extension=cassandra.so" | sudo tee /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/cassandra.ini

To make sure your drivers are installed correctly, restart your web server or php7.0-fpm if you are using nginx and run the command php -m. Confirm that cassandra shows up on the list of installed extensions.
