This library provides a Python API for functionality provided by the Arrow C++ libraries, along with tools for Arrow integration and interoperability with pandas, NumPy, and other software in the Python ecosystem.

Across platforms, you can install a recent version of pyarrow with the conda package manager:

conda install pyarrow -c conda-forge

On Linux, macOS, and Windows, you can also install binary wheels from PyPI with pip:

pip install pyarrow

If you encounter any issues importing the pip wheels on Windows, you may need to install the latest Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio.
