Hello,
With VSC I can do code --list-extensions to have the list of my extension installed. This does not work with cursor despite being a fork of.
How can I achieve the --list-extensions ??
Thank you

Hi @maquejp

You can install CLI tool as cursor or code as well.

Have a look into the Command Palette for Shell Command: Install.... it offers you to create code or cursor command for cli.

Then you use cursor --list-extensions

On my OSX rig, yes it works but on my Ubuntu (22.04.5 LTS), I do not have the “shell command…”
I have forgotten to provide the os, sorry
It is well version Cursor 1.0.0, installed with the appImage downloaded
I have made it available through the terminal but when I do the command, it just open the IDE…

I have the same problem

@hypeit could you please provide more details about your issue? Note that this is not expected behavior so more information is needed to analyze cause: OS, Cursor version, do you have the cli tool installed, is vscode also installed separately?

OS: Ubuntu 24.04
Running Cursor as AppImage.

There doesn’t seem to be a CLI tool

Running with --list-extensions just starts cursor UI. It does not list extensions.

me@my-ubu:~/.AppImage$ ./Cursor-0.48.4-x86_64.AppImage --list-extensions

Should it not work like Visual Studio Code?
