Hi there, I have installed the workbench via the addon manager, restarted FreeCad and it still won't show up in the drop down list. I have installed another workbench after that and that one shows up. There is a folder "CurvedShapes" full of python scripts in the folder ~/.FreeCad/Mod

Same here. I see the following error in the Report View...

During initialization the error Non-ASCII character '\xc2' in file /home/steve/.FreeCAD/Mod/CurvedShapes/CurvedShapes.py on line 242, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details (CurvedShapes.py, line 242) occurred in /home/steve/.FreeCAD/Mod/CurvedShapes/InitGui.py

Hello, I had the same problem. I fixed the issue with the following on LMDE 4 (buster):

sudo apt-get install freecad-python3 Py3 has the default encoding utf-8
sudo update-alternatives --config freecad and choose freecad-python3
optionally removed the python2 version freecad-python2

Thank you NearlyEnjoyable! You clued me in to the reason why various libraries simply weren't available. Freecad's CurvedShapes library wasn't loading correctly, FcGear and Curves workbenches didn't show at all. Update Alternatives gave me two freecad-python3 options, the second in the list enabled both!
