>>> import pyarrow as pa

+You may encounter problems writing datetime data to an ORC file if you install
+pyarrow with pip. One possible solution to fix this problem:
+
+ 1. Install tzdata with ``pip install tzdata``
+
+ 2. Set the environmental variable ``TZDIR`` =
``path\to\.venv\Lib\site-packages\tzdata\``
+
+You can find where ``tzdata`` is installed with the following python
+commands:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> import tzdata
+ >>> print(tzdata.__file__)
+ path\to\.venv\Lib\site-packages\tzdata\__init__.py
+
+You only need to set the ``TZDIR`` environmental variable to
+``path\to\.venv\Lib\site-packages\tzdata\`` in the above example.
Review Comment:
Removing this part as the path and the environment variable are already
mentioned in the numbered list.
