Hazelcast Nodejs Client Connection Refused - node.js

Question

I am trying to run the basic example code provided in the "Using the Client" section of https://github.com/hazelcast/hazelcast-nodejs-client
I am getting a connection refused error. I tried this on both my Mac and my PC machines with the same result. They are running Node v6.9.1. I do not have any special firewall settings. Even tried turning of the Windows firewall completely.
Is there something I am missing?
[DefaultLogger] WARN at ClientConnection: Could not connect to address localhost:5701

First i created an empty node project then:
npm install hazelcast-client --save
Then created one js file with:
var HazelcastClient = require('hazelcast-client').Client;
var person = {
firstName: "Joe",
lastName: "Doe",
age: 42
};
var map;
HazelcastClient.newHazelcastClient().then(function (hazelcastClient) {
map = hazelcastClient.getMap("personMap");
map.put(1, person).then(function (val) {
// prints previous value for key `1`
console.log(val);
});
map.get(1).then(function (value) {
console.log(value);
})
});
That's all the documentation says to do. Is there something else that needs to be done to start a single client cluster on the localhost using hazelcast-client for nodejs?

Answer 1

Before you start
download latest Hazelcast distribution from https://hazelcast.org/download/
unzip to any folder
start Hazelcast member using startup script /bin/start.sh
you can use samples now
Let me know if it works
