I do not get executable files when installing WRF

I am installing WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) on Ubuntu 16.04, at a certain step, I should have files like this:
wrf.exe (model executable)
real.exe (real data initialization)
ndown.exe (one-way nesting)
tc.exe (for tc bogusing--serial only)
But I find them with an .F extension like this:
convert_em.F ideal_nmm.F ndown_em.F real_nmm.F wrf.F
depend.common Makefile nup_em.F tc_em.F wrf_SST_ESMF.F
ideal_em.F module_wrf_top.F real_em.F wrf_ESMFMod.F
How can I fix this?

I don't know WRF - but .exe sounds more like windoze. If you check the files themselves, are the executable? (eg. usingstatorfileto view stats or file-types)

@guiverc OP is saying that they expected EXE files in the download but found Fortran source instead.

The WRF download is a source tarball, so you have to compile the software before you can use it. Work your way through the instructions at http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/compilation_tutorial.php.
Generally, EXE files are for Windows only, unless the software package is using an esoteric naming scheme that puts *.exe onto ELF binaries.
Next time, you should consider supplying a link to the software you're trying to install if you want people to help you.
