error while using \includesvg to insert a svg file

[LeeJZh]

latex code was

\begin{figure}
\includesvg[width=\linewidth, pretex=\relscale{0.6}]{C:/Users/LiJZh/Desktop/app_data/FI}
\end{figure}

getting error

Package svg Error: File FI_svg-tex.pdf' is missing. ...{0.6}]{C:/Users/LiJZh/Desktop/app_data/FI} Package svg Error: File FI_svg-tex.pdf_tex' is missing. ...{0.6}]{C:/Users/LiJZh/Desktop/app_data/FI}

I can not replicate your issue. This works as expected:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{svg}
\usepackage{relsize}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includesvg[width=.5\textwidth, pretex=\relscale{0.6}]
{C:/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/latex/svg/svg-example}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Did you run pdflatex with --shell-escape option? Is Inkscape installed and registered to your PATH variable?

I made a mistake. Sovled

@LeeJZh It would be a good manner to tell us what went wrong, at least in a couple of words. I'm just having the same problem, how did you solve it?

[mrpiggi]

0. RTFM
1. Make the inkscape executable known to your OS by adding its path to PATH variable.
2. Run (pdf|lua|xe)latex with -shell-escape flag

Edit: enhanced answer

@LeeJZh It would be a good manner to tell us what went wrong, at least in a couple of words...

...as well as giving feedback on whether a proposed solution worked or not. :/

Alright, my misunderstanding was that the svg package would work stand-alone such as \includegraphics does. I did not want to additionally install inkscape for this purpose, so I simply converted my svg online into an eps.

[mrpiggi]

Well, it's actually the other way around. This package is meant to automate the facilities of exporting LaTeX material with Inkscape. This is mentioned in the description of this repository as well as in README.md and the package documentation.

Maybe a different name for this bundle would be more reasonable, but it was already established when I took over maintenance.
