Stuck running a source

I recently downloaded the Emulous RSPS source and client package Jack posted in November.

I am very new to intellij and could really use a hand with an error i've encountered.

I only want my server to be local (so I can practice coding on this source), and I do not want/need Sql.

I've got the client running fine but the server comes up with this 

18:06:49.668 [main] ERROR com.emulous.Emulous - An exception was caught whilst running system initialization. Shutting down.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find property file: mysql.properties
    at com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig.loadProperties(HikariConfig.java:1070)
    at com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig.<init>(HikariConfig.java:148)
    at com.emulous.database.Database.init(Database.java:15)
    at com.emulous.Emulous.runAllInitializers(Emulous.java:159)
    at com.emulous.Emulous.main(Emulous.java:113)

Please could someone guide me through fixing this? I just want to turn sql off so it can run.

Much appreciated <3
