I mean to substitute what's inside the angle brackets by the name of the command to run.

I never used wordpress but according to this page:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_-_Extended_Instructions#Step_9:_Run_the_WordPress_upgrade_program
it seems that you are not supposed to type a command in a terminal as I assumed, but rather to use a web interface, so discard the command I wrote.

But i think that this note, quoted fromthe instructions I just linked to, does matter:
Note: Make sure the database user name registered to WordPress has permission to create, modify, and delete database tables before you do this step. If you installed WordPress in the standard way, and nothing has changed since then, you are fine. 

Greetings,

Didier
