I want to install streamlit and pyarrow, but the error is consistent even if I download different version, force reinstall, or directly installing or uninstalling python and pycharm.

Solution

  • There are no wheels for pyarrow on 3.12 yet, 14.0.0 is currently being released which will come with wheels for 3.12. So you can either downgrade your python version which should allow you to use the existing wheels or wait for 14.0.0.

    A more complex variant I don't recommend if you just want to use pyarrow would be to manually build pyarrow (and potentially libarrow) from source following the development documentation: https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/python.html
