--ElasticMQPath         Directory path to install ElasticMQ. The default directory is "$PWD/.elasticmq"

All the above options can be added to serverless.yml to set default configuration: e.g.

custom:
  serverless-plugin-sqs-local:
    elasticmq:
      setup:
        downloadUrl: 'https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/softwaremill-public/elasticmq-server-0.13.8.jar'
