How to create a localDB

Question

Dear all,

once upon a time, I had good experiences with SQL Server. I was able to create a localDB out of the Management Studio. Nowadays it seems this not possible any longer.

A colleague of mine gave me the following learning page:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/sql-server-express-localdb?view=sql-server-ver16

Unfortunately I do not get it.

Is there any other possiblity to create a localDB?

Create? You may mean to start a LocalDB instance? See

Use the SqlLocalDB utility to create an instance of SQL Server Express LocalDB.
