@rishabhdixit1 I would recommend setting up the local server using [Set Up OpenMRS Server with OpenMRS SDK and Docker - Documentation - OpenMRS Wiki](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Set+Up+OpenMRS+Server+with+OpenMRS+SDK+and+Docker). If you want to explore with the online servers then you can use [OpenMRS 2 demo](https://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/login.htm) and [OpenMRS 3 demo](https://o3.openmrs.org/openmrs/spa/login). ---

Cool! one trick to get timely answers from the community members is to specify the what you are doing e.g installing an sdk server, the guide you are following and share the error you are getting using [pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/). Otherwise, you are on the right track
