You can use the SDMX Constructor to create SDMX artefacts on your computer without a complicated setup. You can start using it with a local folder on your computer. Following are the steps to set up a registry in a computer’s local folder.
- On your computer, create a folder, and let’s call it LOCAL_REGISTRY. The screenshot below shows that the folder is created within the C drive.

- In the pop-up window, there are only two fields where we need to make changes: Registry Name and Base URL. You can click the ‘New’ button (which will clear the fields) or type directly within the fields.
- For Registry Name, please type the name of the folder we created before LOCAL_REGISTRY.
- For the Base URL, get the path of the folder (shown below).
