Benson Muite commented on ARROW-14039:
--------------------------------------
The statement is helpful. At the moment, installation instructions are in the
developer documentation, for
[C++|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/cpp/building.html] and
[Python|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/python.html#python-development].
Python also has instructions for a [user
install|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/install.html], but the other
languages do not. Maybe there should be a standalone generic installation page?
Such a page could start with
_For most users, downloading prebuilt binaries from package managers should be
sufficient. Prebuilt binaries are available at:_
_list of repositories with hyperlinks_
_Arrow C++ is a complex project that can handle many different data types,
vectorization architectures, and compiler differences, the prebuilt binaries
may not fit your use, in which case see the developer documentation for
instructions on how to compile Arrow from source._
For developers, possibly the following is enough to add to the C++ and Python
pages:
_Arrow C++ is a complex project that needs to handle many different data types,
vectorization architectures, and compiler differences. Most configurations of
Arrow C++ will build with 4 Gb of RAM on a single core CPU. If you need to
build_ _Arrow for use on a system with limited resources that does not have
prebuilt binaries, we recommend compiling the binaries on a more capable build
machine._

> Would be helpful to add typical memory required for installation. A single
> core is sufficient for processing power, monitoring with SAR indicates that
> about 3 Gb of RAM are needed for debug build and 1Gb of RAM for release build.
