You can talk to your host about having the extension installed, or you can usually do yourself like this (if you have ssh access) :
sudo yum install php-mysqlnd
Create a file on your server called phpoutput.php with this content :
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
then upload it to your server, and hit your website at yourwebsite.com/phpoutput.php to check the extension.
Your advice generally worked, thanks. So just for others who have the same problem:
Ubuntu is on the debian branch:
So hence for distros on the blue line we’re using apt, not yum:
sudo apt-get install php-mysqlnd
Also yum is deprecated on the red line, right? it’s dnf now, right? So shouldn’t that be:
sudo dnf install php-mysqlnd
I’m just saying this response for others who search and have the same problem. Your answer fixed it for me.
thanks again,

Excellent.
Thanks for pointing that out.
