connectoreditorfirewallliveMATLAB

When trying to open or create live scripts, I get the following:
The Live Editor is unable to run in the current system configuration.
Moreover, the initialization stage takes a long time (more than 200 seconds). After start up, the error message below appears:
com.mathworks.jmi.MatlabException: Did not start the server. Desired port was: 31415. Last error was: Server did not respond to initial request: 127.0.0.1:31614
