inkscape: Export an SVG file into a bitmap with the default format (PNG) and the default resolution (96 DPI).

inkscape

$ inkscape ${filename-svg} -o ${filename-png}

try on your machine

This command is using the software Inkscape to convert an SVG file to a PNG file.

Here is the breakdown of each part of the command:

inkscape: This is the name of the command-line tool, which is used for working with scalable vector graphics (SVG) files.
${filename-svg}: This is a placeholder for the input SVG file name or path. You need to replace ${filename-svg} with the actual name of the SVG file you want to convert. For example, if the SVG file is called drawing.svg, you would replace ${filename-svg} with drawing.svg.
-o: This is an option that specifies the output file.
${filename-png}: This is a placeholder for the output PNG file name or path. You need to replace ${filename-png} with the desired name of the PNG file you want to create. For example, if you want to name the PNG file drawing.png, you would replace ${filename-png} with drawing.png.

So, when you run this command, it will use Inkscape to convert the SVG file specified by ${filename-svg} into a PNG file with the name ${filename-png}.
