Answer 1

The MySQL X DevAPI PECL Extension

You can find the MySQL X DevAPI among the many PECL extensions and you can get the latest tarball of source code and also a link to the homepage. And on that home page are directions for installing/configure the extension. The docs say to do the followings and assume you already have MySQL 8.0.11 installed (or go to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads for the MySQL apt repo software; Install it and then run sudo apt-get install mysql-shell mysql-server).

$ apt install build-essential libprotobuf-dev libboost-dev openssl protobuf-compiler
$ add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
$ apt install php7.2-cli php7.2-dev php7.2-mysql php7.2-pdo php7.2-xml
$ pecl install mysql_xdevapi
