Yes, I see ParabolaCreater.FCMacro in the AddonManager and can install it.

Do you have python-git installed?

So is viewing some of the macros dependent on python-git installed?

[galou]

The AddonManager uses two sources for macros, this repository and the Wiki pages.
Getting macros from this "official" repository requires gitpython (or python-git, however it's called).

[luzpaz]

Very good to know. We should let people know this in the Add-on Manager interface or perhaps when FreeCAD first loads? I'm using the appimage so maybe we need to bundle the appimage with python-gitpython ?
