Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

hi @Sky_miner could you please confirm if you completed Step 1 as shown in your screenshot.

Yes, I have completed this in the previous installation. I can search it through which here, which proves that this step should have been completed.

Could you remove it, and check if you have perhaps two of them installed?

Mine returns following

cursor-agent --version

Is it possible that one version is still running? ps aux | grep cursor

Or does restarting terminal solve it?

—version also returns nothing.

I tried reinstall cursor-cli and reboot my Mac. It does not work.

What does the return code contain?

cursor-agent --version
echo $?

It returns 1.
