I recently installed and configured Mediawiki on dcwwiki.org. However, after my installing some Extensions today, I'm confused as the site shows a fatal error. Can someone help? I used some Commond prompts but it doesn't appear to help. After I enter my SSH details and the command, it says "-bash: $: command not found". Any ideas?

I understand that it needs an update.php but I'm really confused on how to run it.

To run update.php, change to your MediaWiki directory, then type php maintenance/update.php. Hope that's all it needs!

It returns an error saying "Could not open input file: maintenance/update.php".

I'm sure I must have missed something.

The only things I can think of are a corrupt/incomplete installation, a typo, or not being in the MediaWiki directory when you told it to update.

I was able to run the update. Thanks to Robertsky. Everything was perfectly fine and I learned running update.php for our site.
