+On macOS and Windows, installing a binary package from CRAN will generally handle Arrow’s C++ dependencies for you. However, the macOS CRAN binaries are unfortunately incomplete for this version, so to install 0.14.1, you’ll first need to use Homebrew to get the Arrow C++ library (`brew install apache-arrow`), and then from R you can `install.packages("arrow", type = "source")`.
