Error: Error connecting to control port: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9051 at Socket.<anonymous>

[Jared-Dahlke]

Hello I am using v0.0.3.

I implement your code just like in the example:

var TorControl = require('tor-control')
var control = new TorControl()

control.signalNewnym(function (err, status) {
	// Get a new circuit
	if (err) {
		return console.error(err)
	}
	console.log(status.messages[0]) // --> "OK"
})

But I am getting this error:

Error: Error connecting to control port: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9051
    at Socket.<anonymous> (/Users/johndoe/Desktop/repos/simpleTor/node_modules/tor-control/index.js:62:18)
    at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:422:26)
    at Socket.emit (events.js:315:20)
    at emitErrorNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:106:8)
    at emitErrorCloseNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:74:3)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:80:21)

Any idea what is wrong?
I made sure those ports are available. I Also tried some custom ports , same error.

Thanks!
