try on your machine

The command aws secretsmanager get-secret-value --secret-id ${name_or_arn} --version-stage ${version_of_secret} is used with the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to retrieve the value of a secret stored in AWS Secrets Manager.

Let's break down the command and its parameters:

aws secretsmanager get-secret-value: Specifies the AWS Secrets Manager service and the action to perform, which is getting the value of a secret.
--secret-id ${name_or_arn}: Specifies the identifier or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret you want to retrieve the value for. You need to replace ${name_or_arn} with the actual secret identifier or ARN.
--version-stage ${version_of_secret}: Specifies the version stage of the secret you want to retrieve. This parameter is optional. If not provided, it will retrieve the secret version that is labeled "AWSCURRENT" (representing the latest version).

The command will authenticate you with your AWS credentials and make a request to Secrets Manager, identifying the specified secret by its identifier or ARN. It will return the value of the specified secret, which could be a sensitive piece of information like a database password or API key.
