Hi Minhaj, and welcome to the ParaView Discourse site!

What that means is that your OpenGL version is too old. You have two options - one is update your graphics drivers, and hopefully the drivers will be “new enough:”. You need at least OpenGL 3.2. Alternatively, you can run an older version of ParaView. I believe, but could be wrong, that you want ParaView 5.2 or older.
