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/.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's installation documentation and the Docker builder reference linked in the issue, then compare the proposed independent image at Docker Hub with the option of adding a .Dockerfile. Done means the chosen Docker-based installation path is documented and avoids the reported out-of-memory build problem.
