GitHub user amoeba added a comment to the discussion: How to install arrow in R with all features enabled?
You don't have to install all the dependencies from source, no, but it's the simplest solution for users who just want to use all features. The build system can pick up pre-installed dependencies from the system though I'm not sure how well that works at the moment. The reason we don't ship a feature-complete binary package has to do with difficulties around getting CRAN to build a feature-complete version of the package. The [version hosted by R-universe](https://apache.r-universe.dev/arrow) is more feature-complete so that may be your simplest option. At the moment, the R-universe version has these features enabled: ``` Capabilities: acero TRUE dataset TRUE substrait FALSE parquet TRUE json TRUE s3 TRUE gcs TRUE utf8proc TRUE re2 TRUE snappy TRUE gzip TRUE brotli TRUE zstd TRUE lz4 TRUE lz4_frame TRUE lzo FALSE bz2 TRUE jemalloc TRUE mimalloc TRUE ``` GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/arrow/discussions/46707#discussioncomment-13371315 ---- This is an automatically sent email for user@arrow.apache.org.
