Use this function to install the latest release of arrow, to switch to or
from a nightly development version, or on Linux to try reinstalling with
all necessary C++ dependencies.

)logical: Should we install a development version of the package, or should we install from CRAN (the default).
On Linux, value to set for the environment variable
LIBARROW_BINARY, which governs how C++ binaries are used, if at all.
The default value, TRUE, tells the installation script to detect the
Linux distribution and version and find an appropriate C++ library. FALSE
would tell the script not to retrieve a binary and instead build Arrow C++
from source. Other valid values are strings corresponding to a Linux
distribution-version, to override the value that would be detected.
See vignette("install", package = "arrow") for further details.
logical: Should we use pkg-config to look for Arrow
system packages? Default is FALSE. If TRUE, source installation may be
faster, but there is a risk of version mismatch.
logical: If building from source, should we build without
optional dependencies (compression libraries, for example)? Default is
FALSE.
character vector of base URLs of the repositories to install
from (passed to install.packages())
Additional arguments passed to install.packages()
arrow_available() to see if the package was configured with
necessary C++ dependencies. vignette("install", package = "arrow") for
more ways to tune installation on Linux.
