    while activating I got error that the plugin cant be activated. It requires PHP MySQLi extension.

    My question is-
    how can I install this PHP MySQLi extension?
    is it safe to install is on my vps server when my website is already running on a mysql db? (I mean is it a new DB or just any extension to my current db?)

    Hi,

    You need to install the “MySQLi” extension.
    The old “MySQL” extension that you are using is deprecated as of PHP 5.5 and will be removed from PHP very soon (see https://th1.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php#faq.databases.mysql.deprecated).
    It is just a PHP extension, it does not affect your database.

    You will find many tutorials about how to install the extension (use Google to search for “linux vps install mysqli” + add your Linux distro name).

    Not only it is safer, but faster and better. WordPress will detect it and will use it too.
