I downloaded the new Paraview 5.10 release candidate (  
ParaView-5.10.0-RC1-MPI-OSX11.0-Python3.9-arm64.pkg) on my Mac. Installation was successful but I get this error message when I try to open it:

**You can’t open the application “ParaView-5.10.0-RC1.app” because this application is not supported on this Mac.**

Attached is a screenshot of a brief description of my Mac

You downloaded the `*arm64.pkg` for ARM64 processors. Because you have an Intel mac, you need to instead download the `*x86_64.pkg`.
