Fixes #78

@ai-naymul thanks for this PR.

I think it is better if we add that file inside doc maybe in a directory called docker or something that will contain that file and a README with instructions on how to use it. As for example, https://volesti.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/install.html#development-environment-from-docker-container

@hariszaf what do you think?

@ai-naymul ideally a github action could be added to test that the dockerfile works as expected.

Yeah we should add that instructions stuff after the installation section in the README file...

[ai-naymul]

@vissarion should I work on the readme file instruction part of these PR right now and make a commit in the same pr or make another PR regarding that?

[vissarion]

I think it is better to do it in this PR. Do you confirm that the docker file you wrote works? What are the commands such that we can reproduce that? Are you able to build dingo in that container and run the tests?

[hariszaf]

I tried this Dockerfile and its current version fails.
Maybe if you follow the steps described inline, it might work.

[hariszaf]

Your Dockerfile fails in this line.
This is because dingo is not on PyPi.

So, maybe, you could follow the installation instructions?
For example,

• get dependencies

apt-get install libsuitesparse-dev &> /dev/null
pip install sparseqr 
pip install Cython 
pip install cobra  
pip install kaleido

• clone dingo repo

git clone https://github.com/GeomScale/dingo.git
cd dingo/
git submodule update --init

• get boost library:

wget -O boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2 https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2 
tar xjf boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2 &> /dev/null
rm boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2 &> /dev/null

• Install dingo

python setup.py install --user

I think this might work.

first clone the dingo repo on the image, then run the init submodule command, get and then follow

Hi @vissarion and @ai-naymul

here you may find a working Dockerfile.

as I do not know if that's in a best-practices way, please have a look and share thoughts. 🌮

Okay I will make the changes

Oh..I didn't notice that the gurobi is not in pypi library , I am sorry I will fix this asap
