Kicad StepUp and FreeCAD 1.0.1 installation issue

[maui]

Recently in FreeCAD 1.0.+ the Addon Manager has issues in installing workbenches with a lot of files and file dimensions.
Here a description of the problem:

AddonManager: Unable to install some addon: git premature EOF

This seems to happen in Linux and OSX , but not in win.

There are three workaround ATM:

1. execute this command:
   git config --global core.compression 9
   and then rerun FreeCAD with the addon manager, to install the wb inside FreeCAD…
2. manually install it by command line:
   /usr/bin/git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/easyw/kicadStepUpMod ~/Library/Preferences/FreeCAD/Mod/kicadStepUpMod in OSX
   or
   /usr/bin/git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/easyw/kicadStepUpMod /home/$USER/.local/share/FreeCAD/Mod/kicadStepUpMod in Linux
3. Download the latest kicadStepUp workbench version; unpack kStepUp workbench to Mod folder; the start FreeCAD.

Hoping this issue will be solved soon.

I’m on OSX 12.7.6

When I last updated Macros, Kicad was removed from the list of Installed macro/wb.

I hadn’t noticed it (haven’t used Stepup in a few weeks).

Upon seeing this post, I now noticed it was no longer installed. So, I listed all Macros and Installed it the usual way (clicking Install)… It worked and no problem(yet…)

ADDED:
I’m using FreeCAD 1.0.1 Rev 39285 (Git)

Interesting timing. I just installed FreeCAD (flatpak on Debian 12) and have not been able to install KicadStepUp Workbench from the Tools->Addon manager.

I am seeing the following error message noting “Installation Failed”:

flatpack seems to be affected too, also snap.

addon manager git clone fails on 1.1 snap

There is a thread also on FC;
