You need a software to extract. Like ffmpeg or mkvtoolnix. They may or may not already be installed. Open the terminal and navigate to the folder with your mkv file. Then either
ffmpeg -i "inputfile.mkv" -c copy "output.srt"
or
mkvextract tracks "inputfile.mkv" "2:output.srt"
(extracts the second track if track counting starts at 0. You can see the IDs using: mkvmerge -i "inputfile.mkv")
