When I try to run the Cursor Installer on my MacBook Pro M1 using macOS Sequoia, it shows “Error downloading manifest from %@” and “The network connection was lost”. My internet is working completely fine. I’ve checked no firewall or VPN is blocking this.
Please post your source URL where you obtained the software, as well as a sha256 sum of the archive file if it came in one (dmg/zip/tar).
If you upload the installer archive to
one of the tabs will provide the sha256sum
Hi Cinder,
I’ve downloaded the software from this URL: https://downloader.cursor.sh/mac/installer/universal
sha256 sum: e1bb34ac7cb8a492e29ab4eaf83260552db8406ea0960e048b764122468432b0
I am having the same issue. I have a feeling this has to do with my laptop in question being a work computer with network restrictions and VPN settings (stuff that’s beyond me).
Suspect unspecified network issues (not saying that network cannot be perfectly fine in normal circumstances, but network config is often hidden / intermittent and controlled by a lot of third parties)
Duckduckgo has a way to get VPN setup without admin rights on macOS (not sure how they do this). VPN hopefully will get you past government-level firewalls in some cases but not sure if your local company can block certain VPNs on an internal-attack prevention level.
Just to confirm I get the same SHA256 sum

Thanks for your response. It was little snitch. Although I removed little snitch but it had a “filter” left. I deleted that by going to network → filters.
