i am trying to use climate data operator (CDO) to merge several netcdf files into one. I installed successfully, although when i am trying to merge the file with cdo mergetime *.nc output.nc

i come across this error cdo: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Did i not install cdo correctly ? or is it problem with ubuntu ? as i am using linux as a subsytem of windows, as you can see in this image

I already used this solution : https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Fix-error-while-loading-shared-libraries:-libQt5Core.so.5

where they used this command sudo strip --remove-section=.note.ABI-tag /usr/lib64/libQt5Core.so.5 but you notice in the screenshot that it didn't any such directory. Am I failing to find the proper directory because i am using ubuntu on windows, and ubuntu's file is hidden somewhere i don't possibly have any idea of.

Either way, i'll be really grateful if i get any help regarding this problem.

    Don't confuse library names with package names - the name of the package that provides the libQt5Core.so.5 library is libqt5core5a. In x86_64 Ubuntu (whether WSL or otherwise), it will install in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ rather than /usr/lib64

Thank you @steeldriver for pointing it, I was confusing library names with package names. I used sudo strip --remove-section=.note.ABI-tag /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5 this and was able to successfully run CDO.
