Cannot create directory in HDFS. Name node is in safe mode - hadoop

Question

I'm have deployed Hadoop in docker which is running on aws ec2 ubuntu AMI instance.
when I try to create a directory in hdfs it says Cannot create directory. Name node is in safe mode
below are the properties in hdfs-site.xml
name: dfs.replication
value: 1
name: dfs.namenode.name.dir
value: /usr/local/hadoop/data
when I check the hdfs report, it gives the below output.
bash-4.1# hdfs dfsadmin -report
19/01/05 12:34:20 WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable

below is some detail about namenode.
bash-4.1# hdfs dfs -df

if I set to leave safe mode, within secs it's going back to safe mode.
bash-4.1# hdfs dfsadmin -safemode leave

below is my file system information
bash-4.1# df -h

what I'm expecting is to create a directory in hdfs to perform a MapReduce operation
