Unable to create developer portal administrator drush

Google Cloud Apigee

I am trying to create Developer Portal administrator on private cloud using 4.16.05

Following steps are being followed:

  • CD to your drupal_root/sites/default directory. The standard location for the Drupal root directory is /var/www/html:  

      cd <drupal_root>/sites/default

  • Ensure that you have write permissions on the private Drupal files:

      drush vget file_private_path

    This command returns the path to the private Drupal files, for example:

          file_private_path: 'sites/default/private'

    Corresponding to /var/www/html/sites/default/private/. Use the following command to ensure that this directory is writable by the owner and the group:

          chmod -R g+w dirPathAndName 

          chmod -R o+r dirPathAndName

  •  Enter the following commands to create an admin user, replacing the commands in “< >” with your values:
  drush user-create <username> --mail="<email-address>" -password="<password>"

      drush user-add-role Administrator <username>

Now on running the last command, I am getting the following error:

You will need to have logged into the website part of Drupal and go thru the installation process that sets up the database first, before you can run drush commands like this.
