Unable to run an Intel application on my M1 MacBook

I have been trying to get an Intel application, downloaded from the internet, to run on my M1 MacBook. Unfortunately I keep getting the error: "The application "cMv_v0.8_MacOS" can't be opened". Rosetta is installed and working as I am able to open other Intel applications such as Google Earth Pro. I took the following steps to download the application:

  • Downloaded a zipfile from: https://zenodo.org/records/4031812
  • Unzipped the MacOS download which showed the application
  • Moved the application to my application folder in Finder

Does anyone know why this application won't run on my MacBook?
