I installed Cursor and was allowed to “install cursor command” but when I try to open with the “cursor” command in the terminal it does not work.
Unfortunately, the “code” command to open with VS code doesn’t work either, Is it a conflict when I installed the “cursor” command? How can I resolve that?
This is the error when running “code .”
Unable to determine app path from symlink: /c/Users/admin/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/code

Delete the code and code.cmd files from /AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/
then edit cursor near the bottom
if [ ! -L "$0" ]; then
# if path is not a symlink, find relatively
VSCODE_PATH="$(dirname "$0")/../../.."
else
if command -v readlink >/dev/null; then
# if readlink exists, follow the symlink and find relatively
VSCODE_PATH="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")/../../.."

# else use the standard install location

extra /.." in the VSCODE_PATH and removed –ms-enable-electron-run-as-node` from the final command, as that was throwing errors and preventing the path to the folder from propogateing.
