Hey Chris,
I tried it multiple times. But the WB never appears in my dropdown list. In fact, there is a GDT folder with all the same files inside as juanvanyo is already present inside the mod folder. But neither the original WB nor the freshly downloaded one appears in the WB dropdown.

Is that one the correct workbench? As @adrianinsaval notes, it's quite old. Maybe there is another one? You can install any workbench the same way, by just putting it in Mods (that's all Addon Manager does).

do you get errors or warnings when starting freecad? IIRC that workbench is only compatible up to freecad 0.16, which is ancient, so I don't recommend using this.
