# Setting Up Repositories in Artifactory

Artifactory organizes artifacts in repositories. There are local, remote, and virtual repositories.

## Repository Types

* **Local repositories**: Store artifacts uploaded to Artifactory.
* **Remote repositories**: Proxy external repositories like Maven Central.
* **Virtual repositories**: Aggregate multiple repositories for unified access.

## Steps to Set Up

1. Log in to the Artifactory web UI.
2. Navigate to Admin > Repositories.
3. Click "New Repository" and select the type.
4. Configure the repository settings (name, package type, etc.).
5. Save the repository.
