      2. Would you like the user to see examples of the syntax and/or executable code and its output?
      3. Which versions of the driver/connector does this apply to?

      Without pkg-config installed, installing the mongodb extension will select Secure Transport as SSL library, causing issues when PHP is compiled with openssl. While our docs specify the requirement for pkg-config, this isn't available by default on MacOS and people may not be familiar with it.

      To rectify this, we should document that people should install the pkgconf package from homebrew in order for SSL detection to work properly.
