Hello. Brand new user here. My OS is Ubuntu 24.04 (noble). I am following the instructions on how to install openfoam12 here (after other failed attempts at installing openfoam and paraview separately, which I have since attempted to uninstall): Download v12 | Ubuntu | OpenFOAM
When at this step:
sudo apt -y install openfoam12
I get the following:

OpenFoam seems to be working properly, as foamRun -help produces:
Usage: foamRun [OPTIONS]
options:
-case <dir> specify alternate case directory, default is the cwd
-fileHandler <handler>
override the fileHandler
-hostRoots <((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN))>
slave root directories (per host) for distributed running
-libs '("lib1.so" ... "libN.so")'
pre-load libraries
-noFunctionObjects
do not execute functionObjects
-parallel run in parallel
-roots <(dir1 .. dirN)>
slave root directories for distributed running
-solver <name> Solver name
-srcDoc display source code in browser
-doc display application documentation in browser
-help print the usage
Using: OpenFOAM-12 (see https://openfoam.org)
Build: 12-86e126a7bc4d
Which, according to the install instructions, means that OpenFoam is installed correctly.
However, when I try to run paraview in the terminal, I get:
