Add-on install not working

[wisehart]

I tried to install the CfdOF Add-On on a fresh install of FC. First in the Add-On manager the add-on preview page looks like this:

Then, when clicking "Install", this window appears and nothing happens:

After waiting for a long time and clicking "Cancel" this message appears in the previe window:

Laden der README-Datei von URL https://github.com/jaheyns/CfdOF/blob/master/README.md ist fehlgeschlagen

Python Console shows this output:

I think that these are issues with the FreeCAD addon manager rather than with CfdOF per se. I would ask you to try it with the latest development build as I suspect they have been addressed, however unfortunately CfdOF isn't yet compatible with it as there are some changes to the material system. So I will check back on this once those changes have been made.

The addon manager is sometimes unstable. I chose to install it manually by cloning this repository into $FreeCAD_ROOT$/Mod directory because of bad network condition. Need to update it manually.
