After watching the video " Loading, Partitioning, and Querying Parquet Data in kdb+" on you tube:&nbsp;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-jLUOSxsNE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-jLUOSxsNE)  
  
I tried to use the library arrowkdb to load parquet file:  
git clone [https://github.com/KxSystems/arrowkdb.git](https://github.com/KxSystems/arrowkdb.git)  
sudo apt update  
  
sudo apt install -y -V libarrow-dev=9.0.0-1  
  
But the Apache Arrow packages aren’t available in the default Ubuntu 22.04 repositories.
