We give an explicit construction of global Galois gerbes constructed more abstractly by Kaletha to define global rigid inner forms. This notion is crucial to formulate Arthur's multiplicity formula for inner forms of quasi-split reductive groups. As a corollary, we show that any global rigid inner form is almost everywhere unramified, and we give an algorithm to compute the resulting local rigid inner forms at all places in a given finite set. This makes global rigid inner forms as explicit as global pure inner forms, up to computations in local and global class field theory.
