Unable to install pyarrow

[asfimport]

I'm unable to install Pyarrow running 64-bit python version 3.8 on 64-bit Windows.

I get the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cmake'
error: command 'C:

Pandas/Numpy are already installed.

 

Environment: Windows 10 64-bit

Weston Pace / @westonpace:
I'm not an expert but I believe python 3.8 was released too late to be supported (with prebuilt wheels) by 0.15.  I believe there should be wheels for python 3.8 when pyarrow 0.16 releases (which should be soon, next week or two).  In the meantime you can either use python 3.7 or build from source.  Building from source will be pretty difficult if you don't have a C build environment in place for this kind of thing.  If you do want to build from source then you should start here (https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/docs/source/developers/python.rst).
