Trouble installing rsvg-convert

[vogtr19]

Description

Build information: Running Quarto 1.5.56, RStudio 2024.04.2 Build 764 on Windows Dell XPS17 laptop
Background: working on a Quarto book project and trying to render a pdf from content including a .svg file

The original error message received prompting me to try to install rsvg-convert was during 'quarto render --to pdf': "Could not convert a SVG to a PDF for output. Please ensure that rsvg-convert is available on the path". A google search for 'rsvg-convert Quarto' included the following URL:
https://quarto.org/docs/prerelease/1.3/pdf.html
This URL indicates to install chocolatey for Windows using this in command line: choco install rsvg-convert

When I tried running this in Rstudio Console and Terminal windows, as well as Windows Command Prompt (it wasn't clear which prompt to use in my situation) I got the following error messages:
Rstudio Terminal and Windows Command Prompt: 'choco' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Rstudio Console: Error: unexpected symbol in "choco install"

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You need to install Chocolatey before you can use choco, the Chocolatey command.

Thanks! I'm a bit embarrassed I didn't try that with the name spelled correctly. Unfortunately, chocolatey is not compatible with my installed v4.4.1 of R. I don't really want to use an earlier version just to run this. I may need to find a workaround utility or something that can convert my .svg file to .pdf or other file type quarto can work with.

Chocolatey is independent and unrelated to R.
Are you talking about rsvg?

Sorry, I had to look back to refresh my memory. Upon trying install.packages("chocolatey"), I got the message:
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/other/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.4’

When I try install.packages("Rtools") I get message:
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages but is not currently installed. Please download and install the appropriate version of Rtools before proceeding:

Having a hard time interpreting next steps here. Thanks so much for the inputs so far and your patience.

Chocolatey is not an R package, see https://community.chocolatey.org.

rsvg-convert is also not an R package, it's a system library.
