Create Local Term Store in code

Question

I've seen some posts on how to create Term Stores on Central Admin level but I was wondering if it's possible to create a Local Term store using c# ?
Thanks in advance !

Yes you can you just need to use the following members:
TaxonomySession.DefaultSiteCollectionTermStore
TermStore.GetSiteCollectionGroup(site);
These hold the correct magic values.
A code snippet using them:
vartaxonomySession =
newTaxonomySession(elevatedSite);
vartermStore = taxonomySession.DefaultSiteCollectionTermStore;
vartermGroup = termStore.GetSiteCollectionGroup(elevatedSite);
vartermSet = termGroup.TermSets.SingleOrDefault(ts
=> ts.Name.Equals(displayName, StringComparison.Ordinal));
if(termSet ==
null)
    termSet = termGroup.CreateTermSet(displayName);
    termStore.CommitAll();
field.SspId = termStore.Id;
field.TermSetId = termSet.Id;
field.Update(pushChangesToLists:
true);
