Hello!

I'm using the arrow package to read parquet files into my shiny app, which works well locally. However, when trying to deploy the app on shinyapps.io, I get the following installation error:

While the message sounds straightforward enough, I haven't been able to pass those environment variables to the shinyapps.io server (I've tried uploading .bashrc and .Renviron files with appropriate environment variables set, but neither worked).

I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or explanations for how to proceed.

I am having the same error, were you able to solve it?

No, I'm afraid. I haven't been working on the project since. Will post a solution if I manage to find one.

Have you tried
Sys.setenv(LIBARROW_MINIMAL="false")
install.packages("arrow")

I haven't tried installing on shinyapps.io but this worked for parquet installation on a remote linux cluster. The one warning I have is that evidently different systems have different compression codecs so I had to rebuild my parquet db on the cluster, blah.
