Hello,

You would need to do a few things:

After that upload your wordpress installation files to the subdirectory in question
Create a MySQL database and a MySQL user
Update your server block and specify the location of your new wordpress site
After the change to the Nginx file make sure that the syntax is ok with the nginx -t command and restart nginx: systemctl restart nginx
Then visit the subdirectory via your browser and complete the Wordpress installation

You can follow this step by step guide on how to do that here:

Hope that this helps! Bobby
