trying to install cpp tools on a remote ssh project gives me this error every time

I do not have this problem using VS Code

not sure what the problem is

error is “Can’t install ‘ms-vscode.cpptools’ extension because it is not compatible with the current version of Cursor (version 0.46.9, VSCode version 1.96.2).”

Figured it out

File->Preferences->VS Code Settings

Search for “Download”

under “Download Extensions Locally”

check “When enabled extensions are downloaded locally and installed on remote”

Does the cpp plugin work well with cursor despite the compatibility warning?
