Description

brew install apache-arrow --HEAD fails when there is no existing installation of NumPy.

CMake Error at /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.19.2/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:218 (message):
  Could NOT find Python3 (missing: Python3_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRS NumPy) (found
  version "3.9.1")
Call Stack (most recent call first):

Workaround is to first install NumPy with pip3 install numpy.

Tested in macOS Big Sur 11.1 on an Intel Mac with

python3 --> Python 3.9.1
