Local project libraries are the simplest and most common type of project library and require no additional set up or configuration by the user, other than installing DaVinci Resolve. These libraries are saved locally to your workstation; by default they are placed in a folder called Resolve Disk Database, though they can be placed manually anywhere on your file system.
