Hi, i solved this by opening cursor in WSL.
Within Terminal, cd to the path of the repo within WSL, will look something like /mnt/c/ and then open cursor from there (cursor .) with full path.
Hello, here is what I did and that worked for Windows users
- Install WSL on Windows (many tutorials out there)
- Move your current project to the root, on Ubuntu it’s ‘home/username’
- move to that folder ‘cd home/username/my-project’
- open cursor from that folder typing ‘cursor’
- in cursor open the terminal and type ‘npm root -g’ to locate your node_modules folder, it will give you back a path like ‘/usr/local/lib/node_modules’
- use that path to install the claude code extension ‘cursor --install-extension /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor/claude-code.vsix’
- in cursor open the terminal and type ‘claude’
- then in claude type ‘/ide’ and select cursor
Finally I found the solution.
- use
find ~ -name "claude-code.vsix"to find out the vsix’s path in wsl, it looks like/home/usr/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor/claude-code.vsix - install it in powershell ,like
cursor --install-extension \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\usr\.npm-global\lib\node_modules\@anthropic-ai\claude-code\vendor\claude-code.vsix - open cursor (no matter from wsl or win),click remote button at the buttom left corner, and choose connect to wsl.
- click open folder, and open your project in windows using a path like
/mnt/e/your/project/path - now enter claude and /ide it will work.
