Including SVG in TexStudio (texlive)

Question

I got some problems moving from Overleaf to local compilers.

Earlier, in Overleaf, I could just use

\usepackage{svg}
...
\hspace*{0.2\textwidth} \includesvg[width=0.5\textwidth]{optic}

But now, in TeXStudio with TeXLive I have some errors with it:

Package svg Error: File `optic_svg-tex.pdf_tex' is missing. ...h} \includesvg[width=0.5\textwidth]{optic}
You didn't enable `shell escape' (or `write18')(svg) so it wasn't possible to launch the Inkscape export(svg) for `optic.svg'

I didn't find anything working correctly on forums. I set something in TeXStudio and in Windows, but it doesn't work.

Can anybody make full guide how to use \includesvg in TeXStudio? I also tried MiKTex, the problem was the same.

You need to compile with shell-escape enabled. Can you show a screenshot of your texstudio preferences->Commands? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 29 '23 at 14:28
I reset TeXStudio settings to defaults, and now it looks like that (default compiler-pdflatex) https://i.stack.imgur.com/jhHFa.jpg — Antoine Russ, Dec 29 '23 at 14:52
Thanks! Just as a test: can you try with pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstop -shell-escape %.tex? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 29 '23 at 14:54

It doesn't continue compilating after these logs — Antoine Russ, Dec 29 '23 at 15:01
(sorry, there was a typo in my previous comment, it should have read -interaction=nonstopmode) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 29 '23 at 15:10
The new error message looks like to come from inkscape. Can you share your .svg file so we can reproduce the problem? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 29 '23 at 15:11
Can you try the MWE from this answer? If that works, there's probably something wrong with your SVG file. If it doesn't work, there's something wrong with your setup (though it looks good from your screenshots). — schtandard, Dec 29 '23 at 15:51
@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz thank you so much, everything is working correctly now — Antoine Russ, Dec 29 '23 at 17:43
@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz could you explain me please, what does -interaction=nonstopmode means? — Antoine Russ, Dec 29 '23 at 19:33
@AntoineRuss It means that latex won't stop at error messages — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 29 '23 at 19:41

My problem was solved in comments. The full guide:

Install TeXLive and TexStudio
Install InkScape and put it in windows PATH: Instruction: https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/add-windows-path-environment-variable/ In path settings add this line:C:\Program Files\Inkscape\bin

In TeXStudio preferences>>commands set pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape %.tex in this string:

And set PdfLaTeX as default compiler. After that everything will work correctly, I hope
