Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9200 ElasticSearch Firebase - elasticsearch

Question

From the firebase elastic search project flashlight: https://github.com/firebase/flashlight.git
I imported data from example/seed/data.json into my https://flashlighttest.firebaseio.com
I run this in root:
FB_NAME="flashlighttest" node app.js
I got this error.

After, i run serve in the example folder and open http://localhost:3000/. Then, any words that I searched, I got 0 result with this error.
{
"error": {
"address": "127.0.0.1",
"code": "ECONNREFUSED",
"errno": "ECONNREFUSED",
"port": 9200,
"syscall": "connect"
},
"total": 0
}
I know that this error happens in lib/PathMonitor.js the _childAdded function.
_childAdded: function(key, data) {
var name = nameFor(this, key);
this.esc.index(this.index, this.type, data, key)
.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('indexed'.green, name);
})
.on('error', function(err) {
console.error('failed to index %s: %s'.red, name, err);
})
.exec();
},
Can someone tell me of what went wrong?
Thanks

This happens because ElasticSearch is not running in my localhost. After I download the elasticsearch and run bin/elasticsearch everything is working fine.
