Python Wheels

We have provided official binary wheels on PyPI for Linux, macOS, and Windows:

We recommend pinning 1.0.* in requirements.txt to install the latest patch release.

These include the Apache Arrow and Apache Parquet C++ binary libraries bundled with the wheel.

Other Installers

For convenience, we also provide packages through several package managers. Many of them are provided as binary, built from the source release. As the Apache Arrow PMC has not explicitly voted on these packages, they are technically considered unofficial releases.

C++ and Python Conda Packages

Binary conda packages are on conda-forge for Linux, macOS, and Windows for the following versions:

Install them with:

conda install arrow-cpp=1.0.* -c conda-forge
conda install pyarrow=1.0.* -c conda-forge
conda install r-arrow=1.0.* -c conda-forge

C++ and GLib (C) Packages on Homebrew

On macOS, you can install the C++ library using Homebrew:
