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. This sets the
ARROW_USE_PKG_CONFIG environment variable.
logical: If building from source, should we build without
optional dependencies (compression libraries, for example)? Default is
FALSE. This sets the LIBARROW_MINIMAL environment variable.
logical: Print more debugging output when installing? Default
is FALSE. This sets the ARROW_R_DEV environment variable.

Note that, unlike packages like tensorflow, blogdown, and others that
require external dependencies, you do not need to run install_arrow()
after a successful arrow installation.
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.
