When I am installing add on of Spread objects, or any other add on from the desktop library, it completes the installation but doesn't show up on the add on library in the prefrences menu.

Please make sure to install the add-on through the preferences (Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install). A common mistake for projects hosted on GitHub is to just download the repository as ZIP. However, some repositories aren't structured to have the __init__.py in the top most directory, thus attempting to install it will result in a non-functional add-on. Those repositories will most likely offer a properly packaged add-on in the release section of the repository.
