Drush needs a higher bootstrap level to run Do you have any idea on what might be causing this error when I execute:

drush si geoslate --db-url='mysql://root:root@localhost/geoslate' --site-name=Geoslate



  Command site-install needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to invoke  from a more functional Drupal environment to run this command.
  The drush command 'si vimn_geoslate' could not be executed.
  A Drupal installation directory could not be found


?
This particular error happens when drush cannot find the settings.php file to read in and "bootstrap" itself.

You need to cd into the drupal directory (Document root) of your drupal install in order for it to read in a settings.php file.
