For some reason https://registry.npmjs.org/svg-sprite-generate returns:

The problem lies in the fact that the package and the binary are named differently. You need to use the package name. Depending on your version of npx, you may need both, I haven't checked that. So, instead of npx svg-sprite-generate, you need to use npx svg-sprite-generator (works with up-to-date npx) or possibly npx -p svg-sprite-generator svg-sprite-generate (will always work).
