title: unable to install.packages('arrow') to read parquet file (read_parquet). Any other way to read parquet file or use any different library?
body: <p>I'm very new to R or even bash. I'm trying to read Parquet file from my local using read_parquet function, but it requires to install arrow library: install.packages('arrow'), which is taking forever (read it as stuck/hang on installation step) on my Ubuntu WSL.
  I have tried everything else.</p>
  <pre><code>install.packages('arrow')  #Taking forever to install
  library(arrow)
  df &lt;- read_parquet(&quot;Financial_Sample.parquet&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>Could someone please help me to find any other function or library to read parquet file. any lead would be appreciated!</p>
