Description
I found a similar problem issue from [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66902732/pip-install-pyarrow-failed-on-linux-ppc64le)
I am using Python 3.7 and PIP 21.0 and linux ppc64le in a cloud instance-based. I tried to install PyArrow with conda-forge but has the similar errors stated
**Incompatible with system CUDA Driver 11.0.0**
**ERROR: Failed building wheel for pyarrow Failed to build pyarrow ERROR: Could not build wheels for pyarrow which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly**
I want to know does PyArrow supports linux ppc64le? Even the conda page said it does, but I tried to install different versions of PyArrow but keep getting the same error. Does that mean I need to reinstall or downgrade my CUDA driver?
Any advice will be much appreciated!
**Environment**: linux ppc64le in the cloud-based

Research direction
No project file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the installation with Python 3.7, pip 21.0, Linux ppc64le, and the reported CUDA 11.0 driver, comparing pip and conda-forge results. Done means determining whether PyArrow supports this environment and documenting the required compatible versions or installation path.
