×It should be possible to do the install, but there is a little configuration needed if you missed it:

But I don’t understand why you want to do that. Unless you want two very different websites. If you want the same site more or less, then use a Custom Post Type that you call blog and that’s it.
You can follow this tutorial for setting up WordPress in sub-directories using NGINX:

If you would like to manage the two sites from one interface, I would suggest setting up WordPress multi-site:
