Hello,

I'm trying to download open foam following the instructions on https://openfoam.org/download/8-macos/

1. Downloaded Docker [successful]
2. Downloaded XQuartz (XQuartz-2.8.1) [successful]
3. Created an openfoam directory to later store pitzDaily [successful]
4. Installed openfoam-8macos (using commands in step 3 on openfoam.org) [successful]
5. Downloaded ParaView-5.9.1-MPI-OSX10.13-Python3.8-64bit.pkg [successful]
6. Launched open foam with ParaView (using commands in step 6 on open foam.org) [successful]
7. Testing openfoam8-macos (using commands in step 7 on open foam.org) [--ERROR--]

Error Faced: When executing the final command paraFoam the following error pops up-

"qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb."

How can I resolve this issue? Any help is appreciated

When I open ParaView from applications it opens but I can't access my openfoam file
