I am running into an error after hitting the command node deploy.js Here's the error;

root@DESKTOP-DBOG28G:~/ethers-simple-storage-fcc# node deploy.js
Deploying, please wait...
Error: could not detect network (event="noNetwork", code=NETWORK_ERROR, version=providers/5.7.2)

}

And here's the code I am trying to deploy:

const ethers = require("ethers");
const fs = require("fs-extra");

async function main() {
    const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider("http://127.0.0.1:7545");
    const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(
        "0xa299753ea234b482f0f39128ec1a21c1531398fd62df1c99a2143bc35831cd83",
        provider
    );
    const abi = fs.readFileSync("./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.abi", "utf8");
    const binary = fs.readFileSync(
        "./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.bin",
        "utf8"
    );
    const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, binary, wallet);
    console.log("Deploying, please wait...");
    const contract = await contractFactory.deploy(); // STOP here! Wait for contract to deploy!
    //console.log(contract);
    const deploymentReceipt = await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);
    console.log(deploymentReceipt);
}

main()
.then(() => process.exit(0))
.catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
    process.exit(1);
});
