the pyfury demo code shown in the website doesn't work with pyfury :(

[justincui]

The following demo code shown in the Fury website cannot be run with pyfury==0.4.1 (the latest):

from typing import Dict
import pyfury

class SomeClass:
    f1: "SomeClass"
    f2: Dict[str, str]
    f3: Dict[str, str]

fury = pyfury.Fury(ref_tracking=True)
fury.register_class(SomeClass)
obj = SomeClass()
obj.f2 = {"k1": "v1", "k2": "v2"}
obj.f1, obj.f3 = obj, obj.f2
data = fury.serialize(obj)
# bytes can be data serialized by other languages.
print(fury.deserialize(data))

Environment:
RHEL9.2 (5.14.0-284.25.1.el9_2.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC )
python 3.9.16

Steps to reproduce:

1.  python3 -m venv .venv
2.  source .venv/bin/activate
3.  pip install --upgrade pip
4.  pip install pyfury
5.  python a.py  # the demo code

It prints the following error:

/data/try_fury/.venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/pyfury/__init__.py:67: 
RuntimeWarning: Fury format initialization failed, please ensure pyarrow is installed with version which fury is compiled with: No module named 'pyarrow'
  from pyfury.format import *  # noqa: F401,F403 # pylint: disable=unused-import
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

According to the error message, I install the pyarrow. I try the following
pip intall pyarrow
pip install pyarrow==14.0.0 # according to README in fury.python
pip install pyarrow==12.0.0 # according to setup.py in fury/python
None works.

In the error message, it complains the numpy 2.0.0 is incompatible. I install numpy with pip install numpy==1.26.4
