I’ve tried to follow the documentation … but it is not so clear for me how to run paraview in parallel … I also have notice that now the binary paraview package is ready for MPI … so I just need to better understand how to run it in parallel on my 8 thread of 7700K

I try using paraview binary mpiexec to run :

`/opt/ParaView-5.8.0-MPI-Linux-Python3.7-64bit/bin/mpiexec -n 4 pvserver`

this give me this :

```
co@ghirtoo
Waiting for client...
Connection URL: cs://ghirtoo:11111
Accepting connection(s): ghirtoo:11111

```

then I go to paraview and try to “connect” -\> “add Server” I insert ghirtoo then go forward but the things doesn’t works
