Hello!

Tried this library and got permanent :not_alive error on LocalCluster.start_nodes Also your library test returned this 

00:02:37.767 [info]  Protocol 'inet_tcp': register/listen error: econnrefused

    (elixir) lib/enum.ex:783: Enum."-each/2-lists^foreach/1-0-"/2

I am not sure - may be this issue is trivial and self obvious for true erlang developers, but for noobs like me it was kind of pain.

Finally I got the reason - there must be epmd daemon running.

So may be reflect this requirements in documentation? It seems mandatory condition so looks logical for me to write couple of lines about it.

I added a small note about this in the README, thanks!
