I try to compile it and it throws this error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• Where:
  Build file 'C:\Users(myusername)\Desktop\New folder (2)\modularforcefieldsystem-1.12 (1)\modularforcefieldsystem-1.12\build.gradle' line: 56

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating root project 'modularforcefieldsystem-1.12'.

C:\Users(myusername)\Desktop\New folder (2)\modularforcefieldsystem-1.12 (1)\modularforcefieldsystem-1.12\local.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)

• Try:
  Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

You can comment out line 56 of build.gradle or make an empty local.properties file to get around that.
