Could not connect to TraCI server at localhost:53363 [Errno 111] Connection refused

Hi, I am trying to run this script:

python simulator.py -c examples/merge/merge.sumo.cfg

I am getting the following errors:

Could not connect to TraCI server at localhost:53363 [Errno 111] Connection refused
 Retrying in 1 seconds
Loading configuration... done.
Warning: Defining car following parameters in a nested element is deprecated in vType 'type1', use attributes instead!
Warning: Defining car following parameters in a nested element is deprecated in vType 'type2', use attributes instead!

I am on Ubuntu 18. This is my SUMO configuration:

(permit) alpha@alpha:~/src/permit$ echo $SUMO_HOME
/home/alpha/src/plexe-sumo-permit

(permit) alpha@alpha:~/src/permit$ which sumo
/home/alpha/src/plexe-sumo-permit/bin/sumo

(permit) alpha@alpha:~/src/permit$ sumo --version

Hi, that's not an error. Sometimes SUMO takes a while to open, and TraCI needs to try some times before connecting to SUMO, but your execution returned Loading configuration... done., so it runs correctly.
