| <p>There are two supported ways to set up the build environment for PyArrow: using |

| <p>Both methods are shown bellow for Linux and macOS. For Windows, only the |

| <p>Note that in case you are not using conda on a Windows platform, Arrow C++ |

| <p><strong>Using system and bundled dependencies</strong></p> |
| <p>If not using conda, you must arrange for your system to provide the required |

| on the fly, but this will take a longer time than with pre-installed binaries.</p> |
| <p>On macOS, use Homebrew to install all dependencies required for |

| <p>With the above instructions the Arrow C++ libraries are not bundled with |

| <p>If you are using the conda package manager then conda will ensure the Arrow C++ |

| <p>If you build PyArrow but then make changes to the Arrow C++ or PyArrow code, |

| <section id="self-contained-wheel"> |
| <h4>Self-Contained Wheel<a class="headerlink" href="#self-contained-wheel" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h4> |
| <p>If you’re preparing a PyArrow wheel for distribution (e.g., for PyPI), you’ll |
| need to build a self-contained wheel (including the Arrow and Parquet C++ |
| libraries). This ensures that all necessary native libraries are bundled inside |
| the wheel, so users can install it without needing to have Arrow or Parquet |
| installed separately on their system.</p> |
| <p>To do this, pass the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--bundle-arrow-cpp</span></code> option to the build command:</p> |
| <div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$ </span>pip<span class="w"> </span>install<span class="w"> </span>wheel<span class="w"> </span><span class="c1"># if not installed</span> |

| <span class="w"> </span>--bundle-arrow-cpp<span class="w"> </span>bdist_wheel |

| <section id="editable-install"> |
| <h4>Editable install<a class="headerlink" href="#editable-install" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h4> |

| </pre></div> |
| </div> |
| <p>This creates an <em>editable install</em>, meaning changes to the Python source code |
| will be reflected immediately without needing to reinstall the package. |
| The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--no-build-isolation</span></code> flag ensures that the build uses your current |
| environment’s dependencies instead of creating an isolated one. This is |
| especially useful during development and debugging.</p> |

| <div class="admonition note"> |

| <p>These files can be manually deleted. If unsure which files to erase, one approach |
