Description

It would be great if "Installation using docker" guide will be added to documentation. Installing/compiling on bare system takes lots of time.

One can add .Dockerfile to repository as mentioned here https://docs.docker.com/reference/builder/. But, I couldn't send a pull request as it was using lots of memory while building from source and throwing "out of memory error"

Other solution would be: Use independent docker image. Here is my image: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/jdkanani/docker-pcl/.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the repository's existing CI configuration and determine where to add a Docker image build step. Investigate the memory issue mentioned when building from source and consider using a multi stage build or a pre built base image.
