I'm new using MongoDB in laravel, I want to use laravel 4.2 with MongoDB but I have this problem: 

> C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel-mongo>composer require jenssegers/mongodb
Using version ^3.0 for jenssegers/mongodb

./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - jenssegers/mongodb v3.0.0 requires mongodb/mongodb ^1.0.0 -> satisfiable by mongodb/mongodb[1.0.0, 1.0.1].

    - jenssegers/mongodb v3.0.1 requires mongodb/mongodb ^1.0.0 -> satisfiable by mongodb/mongodb[1.0.0, 1.0.1].

    - jenssegers/mongodb v3.0.2 requires mongodb/mongodb ^1.0.0 -> satisfiable by mongodb/mongodb[1.0.0, 1.0.1].

    - mongodb/mongodb 1.0.1 requires ext-mongodb ^1.1.0 -> the requested PHP extension mongodb has the wrong version (1.0.0) installed.

    - mongodb/mongodb 1.0.0 requires ext-mongodb ^1.1.0 -> the requested PHP extension mongodb has the wrong version (1.0.0) installed.

    - Installation request for jenssegers/mongodb ^3.0 -> satisfiable by jenssegers/mongodb[v3.0.0, v3.0.1, v3.0.2].

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in those .ini files:
    - C:\xampp\php\php.ini
  You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

For Laravel 4.2 you would need 2.0.x version of the package

composer require jenssegers/mongodb ^2.0

When you don't specify the version composer grabs the latest stable release by default, which currently happens to be v3.0.2.

This happened to me (for Lumen 5) due to an old mongo installation.

From http://php.net/manual/en/class.mongoclient.php:
Warning: This extension that defines this class is deprecated. Instead, the MongoDB extension should be used.

Following next steps I was able to get jenssegers/mongodb properly working:

sudo apt-get install php5-dev
sudo pecl install mongodb

Then add to /etc/php5/cli/php.ini or similar:

extension=mongodb.so

And then install the driver

composer require jenssegers/mongodb
