ConnectionError: Initial connection to Elasticsearch failed. Make sure you run an Elasticsearch instance at [{'host': 'localhost', 'port': 9200}] and that it has finished the initial ramp up (can take > 30s).

It looks like Elasticsearch isn't running, can you try and start it, there's a guide here https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/starting-elasticsearch.html Let me know if this doesn't work
