CLion with WSL try to run QT application (xcb can not be loaded)

I am trying to run the code from here https://github.com/vt4a2h/uml-tool and I found myself stuck with this error message:

qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display 
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

I am using windows 10 with WSL 2 (Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS)

What I've tried:

And my new error message is:

Process finished with exit code 134

All of the commands from above were run from ubuntu console

What should I do? How can I fix this?

You need an X11 server. The first Google result for "WSL X11" is https://virtualizationreview.com/articles/2017/02/08/graphical-programs-on-windows-subsystem-on-linux.aspx which says:

To use WSL with graphical programs, an X server will need to be installed on the Windows 10 system and the DISPLAY variable will need to be set in Bash. Fortunately, there are many X servers that run on Windows; some of the more popular free ones are Xming, Cygwin X, and vcXsrv.

The article above also contains some more instructions on how to start an X11 server and to test that it works.
