HTTP method error during installation

Hello,
I tried to install fruum to use it for my existing website. Sadly it did not work.

I followed the installation instructions.
When I start the setup
npm start -- --setup

I get following error

error: [0] [setup] {"msg":"Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/fruum] and method [POST], 
allowed: [DELETE, PUT, HEAD, GET]","path":"/fruum","query":{},"body":"{\"settings\":{\"index\":
{\"number_of_shards\":1,\"number_of_replicas\":1}}}","statusCode":405,"response":"{\"error\":\"Incorrect
HTTP method for uri [/fruum] and method [POST], allowed: [DELETE, PUT, HEAD, GET]\",\"status\":405}"}

elasticsearch is up an running locally as far as I can tell.
curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:9200
generates

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
content-length: 493
