The current guide is on some other website where it recommends using fuse to install but fuse breaks ubuntu according to some users. Can @anon-9002714 team write up a guide on how to safely install this on ubuntu and also consider addressing any security issues if downloaded in ubuntu?

Hey @IWelcomeAIOverlords I found a video, but it seems like there’s nothing complicated there. [Master Cursor AI: EASY Step-by-Step Tutorial (Ubuntu, Linux)]

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 mor…

Hey, this might help you, but I’m not sure since I don’t use Linux. [image] Error when running cursor General I solved it with --no-sandbox

@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?

Can you add a how-to guide on installing/using cursor in Ubuntu?
