Mac OS Monterey uses Port 5000

[cdunham1989]

I recently attempted this getting started guide and hit an unusual error when attempting to run the app locally.

After doing some digging, I discovered that in Mac OS Monterey port 5000 is already used internally for AirPlay. Unless you go into your system settings and turn this setting off, attempting to run your app locally on this port will fail.

I'm unsure if there were any further reasons for why this port was chosen for the tutorial, but could I suggest adjusting the code to use a different port so others don't have the same issue.
