I have installed piwik and trying to generate test data by running commands.
I am getting error while running following command:
C:\Apache24\htdocs\piwik>php console visitorgenerator:generate-visits --idsite=1 --days=5
[Exception]
curl_exec: Operation timed out after 5000 milliseconds with 0 bytes receive
d. Hostname requested was: localhost

Can you please help me to resolve this error?

You should really never use localhost as I have found that using localhost precludes using PHP. You can update your local hosts file to set a specific hostname to use.
