Incompatibility

[ErinTUDelft]

The workstation installation specifies installing python 3.7 (conda create -n sim python=3.7) which is incompatible with the latest Isaac Sim version (2023.1.1) and should be 3.10 instead.

I ran into the following installation problems:

• First by installing a conda environment with python 3.7 and the latest version of Isaac Sim as per the installation instructions I ran into torch incompatibility described in Cannot import torch #53
• Then I couldn't render with headless=false so I downgraded the Isaac Sim to the one used in the paper (2022.2.0), but ran into the TorchRL/Tensordict problem described here: Which version of torchrl and tensordict do I need to install when I want to run the distribution based on isaac sim 2022.2.0? #42
• Then I found that the rendering issue could be resolved by using Isaac Sim 2023.1.0-hotfix: Error running "python train.py task=Hover total_frames=100_000_000 eval_interval=60 headless=true" #49

All in all this had cost several days of work, and I don't understand why the respective documentation hasn't been updated. I would heartily recommend specifying in the instructions to install conda with python 3.10 and Isaac Sim 2023.1.0-hotfix to save the next generation of users the same trouble :)

Sorry for the trouble. I will update the documentation right away.
