I just downloaded ParaView-6.0.0-MPI-Linux-Python3.12-x86\_64.tar.gz it seems to be missing the paraview executable called `paraview`.
Here are the contents of the bin directory:

I just installed the Windows version. I love the background colour (WarmGrayBackground) and the Fast colour map. Congratulations to all involved.

The unified OpenGL/EGL/osmesa implementation is a massive improvement in usability. Rather than build from source, I was able to just download the binary to a headless machine and it all just works. Many, many thanks for this!!!

🎉 Thanks to an extraordinary effort by @Ryan_Krattiger , ParaView 6.0.0 is now available through Spack! 🎉
With feedback from a number of reviewers along the way, Ryan worked through a number of challenges across a variety of packages to make this happen.
