Laravel 5.4 on PHP 7.0: PDO Exception - Could not find driver (MySQL)

Same problem, ubuntu 17.10, Laravel 5.5.

$ sudo apt install php7.1-pdo php7.1-mysql

enter image description here

A nice quick fix, hope this helps

As an alternative solution be sure you have installed php7-mysql

try to run command below

sudo apt install php7.0-mysql

or, if you want to automatically install the current version

sudo apt install php-mysql
