I don't see OPenSCad as an addon. Where do I find this "binary"?

Install it wherever you normally install programs. The path to the executable is in Preferences|OpenSCAD

The OpenSCAD workbench is a standard FreeCAD workbench, has been since FreeCAD 0.13, it is not an addon workbench.
Just select it like Part, Part Design etc

You do have to go to select it as a workbench
Then go to FreeCAD Preferences should display

First option is where the location of the OpenSCAD executable should be set if it has not defaulted to the correct location.
