Welcome to the community, Victor!

You probably have some link to system ParaView that you are finding. I would recommend the following:

- Download a new version of Paraview from the [paraview.org](http://paraview.org) website. Untar this.
- cd to the bin directory.
- Run as follows: ./paraview.  
This will run in the bin directory, rather than the first “paraview” that is found in your path.
