  ERROR: Failed building wheel for pyarrow
Failed to build pyarrow
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pyarrow which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

Tried Installing Windows 10 sdk and updating Visual studio tools

Please help with basic step, I am level 0 in python doing it just to get to Superset

Solution

  • Apache Superset is pinned on pyarrow==0.15.1 which is not available on Python 3.8, and I don't recommend trying to get the build-from-source to work.

    Please ask the Superset developers to update to pyarrow==0.16.0 or higher. In the meantime, you can use Python 3.7 or lower.
