[Solved] ubuntu 18.04 Fix Error: “libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

Error “libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”
When running ORB_SLAM3, I encountered the error “libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”. Execute the command “sudo apt install libpng12-0” to install libpng12.so.0 and solve the problem.
The command log of the error:
