I installed the latest animation workbench using freecad's addon manager on Oct 14,2019. After installation, workbench selector dropdown does not show an option for animation workbench.

The freecad used is... OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (LXDE/Lubuntu) Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.19.18353 (Git) AppImage Build type: Release Branch: master Hash: 5de6763ed5889bfec76994e77d9c71b362448790 Python version: 3.7.3 Qt version: 5.12.5 Coin version: 4.0.0a OCC version: 7.3.0 Locale: English/Canada (en_CA)

Did you read the information on the frontpage or the info in the addonmanager?

i had the same issue on Archlinux, error message: During initialization the error 'backend.qt4 is not a valid rc parameter (see rcParams.keys() for a list of valid parameters)' occurred in /home/andreas/.FreeCAD/Mod/animation/InitGui.py Please look into the log file for further information Following https://scipy-cookbook.readthedocs.io/items/Matplotlib_PySide.html i commented out line 30 in Animation.py: # matplotlib.rcParams['backend.qt4']='PySide' and animation workbench is shown and can be used now.

Should your correction be implemented as a fix?

I found that replacing Qt4/qt4 with Qt5/qt5 everywhere, in addition to changing matplotlib.rcParams['backend.qt4']='PySide' to matplotlib.rcParams['backend']='Qt5Agg' was enough to get it started. I'm not sure if that backend is ever used, or if the line could just be commented out, but it's not triggering any errors. (Obviously, I am using Qt version 5 rather than 4.)
