@juanfcocontreras Sorry, I forgot that Homebrew R has binary package installation disabled entirely, not just from CRAN, so trying to install binaries from Posit Package Manager won't work out of the box either. That is still attempting a source installation where R tries to compile arrow, rather than installing the precompiled binary from Package Manager. I'd recommend switching to the [R installation from CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/) if possible, rather than Homebrew, as you'll have a much better package installation experience in general, being able to use all of CRAN's precompiled packages. If that's not feasible, I think it may still be possible to force a binary package installation on Homebrew R, but it's not straightforward. You can install directly from the binary files using: ```r install.packages("https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/latest/bin/macosx/big-sur-arm64/contrib/4.3/arrow_14.0.0.2.tgz";, repos = NULL) ``` Where you can find the binary package file URL from the Package Manager website, for a given R version and macOS arch (x86 or arm64): https://packagemanager.posit.co/client/#/repos/cran/packages/overview?search=arrow. This example is for R 4.3, macOS arm64. This method won't install dependencies by default, so you'll have to individually install each dependency manually. For why Homebrew R isn't compatible with CRAN, here is some background: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2016-March/011890.html -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
