On Debian and Ubuntu, install librdkafka from the Confluent APT repositories, see instructions here and then install librdkafka:

$ apt install librdkafka-dev

On RedHat, CentOS, Fedora, install librdkafka from the Confluent YUM repositories, instructions here and then install librdkafka:

$ yum install librdkafka-devel

For Linux Debian Stretch (9.13) actual flow is:

Install PHP pecl and pear commands:
```
sudo apt install php-pear
```
FYI: Depends on your installed PHP version you may need to use concrete version package. For example: php7.2-pear.
(Skip if you already installed librdkafka-dev) Add backports repository. Current ext-rdkafka depends on librdkafka version 0.11.0 or greater. So follow official instructions, but use stretch-backports.
(Skip if you already installed librdkafka-dev) Install librdkafka-dev package from backports:
```
sudo apt -t stretch-backports install librdkafka-dev
```
Update apt:
```
sudo apt update
```
Install PECL-package:
```
sudo pecl install rdkafka
```
Enable PHP-extension in PHP config. Add to php.ini:
```
extension=rdkafka.so
```
FYI: You need to restart php-fpm service to apply new config params.
