Description
Context
The installation procedures are pretty old and people have to rely on third-party blogs to find reliable instructions.
Expected behavior
The installation steps and details for most of the situations should be available on the website and the PCL repo.
The compilation FAQ also needs to be updated using past reported issues.

Research direction
Review the existing installation procedures on the PCL website and repository, then use past reported issues to identify gaps in the compilation FAQ. Update the installation steps and situation-specific details in both locations, and expand the FAQ so the documented guidance covers the recurring problems found.
