Installation and Setup with DockerFile

[Hemantr05]

🚀 Feature

I would like to propose and implement a DockerFile for easy installation and set up of pytorch3d

Motivation

A lot of users might face problems while installation, I personally took some time to set it up, but a dockerfile makes this easier.
One line of code to run the dockerfile.

Pitch

The DoclkerFile would :

1. check for python
2. Ask for OS
3. create a virtual environment
4. Install all requirements
5. Checks for cuda (and version) if doesn't exist, will install with pip (without cuda support)
6. User can choose.
   [a] anaconda [b] pip
7. User can choose building / installing from source.
   [a] Install from Github [b] Install from local clone

NOTE: we only consider adding new features if they are useful for many users.

@Hemantr05 yes this sounds like a good idea. Do you plan to implement it or do you need support from us?

[Hemantr05]

@nikhilaravi will try implementing it. Should be done by today.
If any support is needed, what would be the approach for it?

[nikhilaravi]

Great! Feel free to make a PR when you're ready. If you have any questions you can ask them here or on your PR.

Will do, thanks a ton @nikhilaravi

I was successfully able to setup pytorch3d using docker. Let me know if anyone needs any help.

[Hemantr05]

@bhadresh74 is it possible for you share the same?

@Hemantr05 There it is. Enjoy.
