Installation Issue

Hey, I have been trying to install memsql-ops on a system. Memsql-ops looks to have worked but when its time to add the license key I get an error saying that the master aggregator must be online to validate and when i try manually connect using get an error saying “ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘127.0.0.1’ (111)”.
I have checked the directories and have noticed that the /var/lib/memsql directory is blank even though I have specified the directory with the --memsql-installs-dir flag while running the installation.
Is there anything I am missing?
