Thank you for help
The reason for your problem is that the sevntu-checkstyle-default-configuration.xml linked in the current version of the GitHub wiki document is outdated. The VariableDeclarationUsageDistance check was moved to the regular Checkstyle tool with SevNTU Checkstyle 1.13.0, so it does not exist in SevNTU Checkstyle anymore.
This can really only be fixed by the SevNTU guys, so you may consider opening an issue with them. Until it gets fixed, I believe your best bet is to remove checks that cause errors from the file until it works.
You did not give version numbers, but you are probably using the current versions, which means Checkstyle 6.10.1 and SevNTU Checkstyle 1.13.6. Those are not fully compatible. Consider using Checkstyle-IDEA 4.17.3 for best compatibility with the SevNTU Checkstyle extension.
