   Can you see the full error log where it says:

   (node:95146) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9050
   
   
    - Are you running `tor`?
   See easy guide here (OSX, Linux, Windows):
   https://github.com/talmobi/tor-request#requirements
   
    Quickfixes:
     OSX: `brew install tor && tor`         # installs and runs tor
     Debian/Ubuntu: `apt-get install tor`   # should auto run as daemon after install
     Windows: download the Windows Expert Bundle from `https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/`
              Unzip and run tor.exe inside the Tor/ directory.

   see related issues: #3 #40 #54

   Basically you have most likely forgot to run your tor client before using tor-request

   I am getting the same error even when my tor is running:-

   netstat -ano | find "9060"
     TCP    127.0.0.1:9060         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       7804

   @DhananjayPurohit tor is usually running on port 9050 by default -- but your seems to be running on port 9060 -- try setting the port specifically to 9060 using

   var tr = require('tor-request');
   var ipaddress = "127.0.0.1"
   var port = 9060
   tr.setTorAddress(ipaddress, port); // "127.0.0.1" and 9050 by default

   I ensured the port to be 9060 still getting the error, Is there any tool or process you can recommend for checking what's wrong with my SOCKS port?

   @DhananjayPurohit maybe there is wrong with library configuring the port -- try running your tor on port 9050 instead by changing line 18 in your torrc and trying again.

   you can check which ports are active/in use using:

   lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
