The current guide is on some other website where it recommends using fuse to install but fuse breaks ubuntu according to some users. Can @cursor team write up a guide on how to safely install this on ubuntu and also consider addressing any security issues if downloaded in ubuntu?

Hi @deanrie - Thanks but I got an error like this
cursor
dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2
AppImages require FUSE to run.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
See FUSE · AppImage/AppImageKit Wiki · GitHub
for more information
Hey, this might help you, but I’m not sure since I don’t use Linux.
Have you tried this?
sudo apt install libfuse2
A nice Linux config is this:
But for most the video above will do.

You know I wanted to try this but I could have sworn I saw some warning messages saying not to install fuse because it will break Ubuntu. I need to dig in to see which fuse they were talking about.
a single library install should not break Ubuntu, it doesn’t get loaded unless whatever is looking for it by name will load it . But if you link to the previous posts/stories of it breaking that would be useful to know if it can break
Okay so I think libfuse2 is safe but there’s a whole thread on fuse for Ubuntu 2204 and above.
Looks like there’s an older version of fuse called “fuse” and that breaks Ubuntu by removing packages.
I also found this guide that is apparently dangerous
So all this led me to this forum to ask the question.
I will try the libfuse2 and give it a try.
@deanrie should cursor be installed locally for each user? probably not?
OK, but if you install it globally, say, in /opt/ using sudo then automatic update won’t work.
then update could be done only as sudo cursor.AppImage --no-sandbox
what’s the recommended way to go?
Hi IWelcomeAIOverlords; With fuse I did broke my system. Did you get along with libfuse2?
