How to get the system messages of my wiki up-to-date?

How to get the system messages of my wiki up-to-date?

Shell access/knowledged is explicitely stated as requirement to run MediaWiki

Hello. Yesterday I created a new wiki, which uses MediaWiki 1.27.0 (latest version).

Some of the system messages of my wiki are outdated. It seems like they don't include changes made on translatewiki after the development of version 1.27.

Is there any way I can import changes from translatewiki to my own wiki?

Haven't your wiki installed the LocalisationUpdate extension?

It does appear on Special:Version, but yet system messages are not being updated automatically.

You need to run the script manually or setup a CRON job or equivalent for it to have any effect.

There has been plans to create LUv2 that "just works" out of the box but nothing concrete yet.

One things we have regressed is that we used to do localisation backports to stable MediaWiki releases before each release, but we have not done it recently. Some better tooling to automate this would be helpful.

Please refer to the documentation: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LocalisationUpdate

Under the "Usage" section, I'm told to run something on the command line. What does it mean? Where is this 'command line'?
