Mycroft-cli-client gets stuck on a connection refused error

I’m trying to get Picroft (raspbian-stretch_Picroft_2018-09-12) running on a new
Raspberry Pi 3 B+. The setup process goes fine until just after I set up my microphone when the setup script crashes with errors. Anytime I try to complete the setup by running mycroft-cli-client the script errors out within seconds. From reading the errors the script throws out it looks as if its trying to make a websocket connection and getting stuck on that step. Here is the output. Its the same error every time it try to run mycroft-cli-client :

Can anyone advise me how to fix this?

have you run start-mycroft.sh all before trying the cli?

Thank you. I tried running start-mycroft.sh before starting the cli interface, but it did not make a difference. Weirdly enough, the next day (and after several reboots) it apparently spontaneously connected to api.mycroft.ai. I was able to pair my Pi 3b+ and start using Mycroft.

Why it works now is still a mystery. Was api.mycroft.ai getting too many connection requests yesterday?
