[Proposal] Update pip installation guide to use published isaaclab package #5689

Description

@d-kleine

Proposal

Update the pip installation guide to use the published isaaclab pip package directly instead of instructing users to clone the IsaacLab repository.

The pip installation guide should be updated for the installation, verification and training:
https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab/main/source/setup/installation/pip_installation.html#installing-isaac-lab

Motivation

The current workflow still assumes a local clone of the IsaacLab repository and usage of repository-specific helper scripts. This makes the pip installation path feel incomplete, even though Isaac Lab is already distributed as a pip package.

https://pypi.org/project/isaaclab/

Providing package-native commands would make the pip workflow clearer and lower the barrier for users who only want to install and use Isaac Lab as a Python package.

Build Info

  • Isaac Lab Version: 2.3.2
  • Isaac Sim Version: 5.1.0
