From ArdorDocs
To use the contract manager plugin you must first start your Ardor node. One simple way to do so is to run the node using the "Ardor Local" launcher from inside the IntelliJ IDE. If your node is offline while running the contract manager, the contract manager will display the message "Cannot connect to http://<address>:<port>/nxt make sure the node is running" and terminate.
