For below errors:

Supported DB Extensions: None
MyBB requires one or more suitable database extensions to be installed. Your server reported that none were available.

You are missing php-mysql.

Fix

sudo apt install php-mysql

for example for PHP 7.2.17-0ubuntu0.19.04.1 i did

sudo apt remove php*-mysql
sudo apt install php7.2-mysql

Then you need to enable mysql extension in php.ini file add extension=mysql.so and restart server.

Hola ! Fixed MyBB DB extension issue.
