I'm running on a Windows machine and trying to install IsaacLab Arena.
I tried 2 approaches:
1- the installation through the Docker container as suggested in the official documentation. https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab-Arena/main/pages/quickstart/installation.html on an Ubuntu environment.
It didn't work. My docker container can't communicate with Vulkan. Tests yield errors, I tried running IsaacLab\isaaclab.bat -p isaaclab_arena\examples\compile_env_notebook.py. It opens IsaacSim but it crashes after few seconds.

2- Native on windows.
I had already created an environment through Anaconda Prompt and successfully installed and ran IsaacSim 5.1.0 and IsaacLab 0.48.0. I clone Arena's git repo to this environment and there I ran the installation steps suggested here https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab-Arena/main/pages/quickstart/installation.html.
When I ran tests and the first example environment I ran in a bunch of errors indicating lack of modules:
No module named 'pink'
No module named 'lightwheel_sdk'
No module named 'onnxruntime'
flash_attn can't import, gr00t package directory doesn't exist,
Camera observation test fails
etc
Question:
Is it even possible to run Arena on a Windows machine (on a Ubuntu/Conda env)? Is it supported?
I didn't see any mention of Arena being supported only on native Linux on the official documentation.
