I have “installed” cursor in Ubuntu using the AppImage, in the setup process there is an option to install “cursor” command
it does not work
In the troubleshooting you have this:
You can open Cursor from the command line by running cursor in your terminal. If you’re missing the cursor command, you can
Open the command palette ⌘⇧P
Type install command
Select Install 'cursor' command (and optionally the code command too which will override VS Code’s code command)
this does not work, there is not such command as " Install ‘cursor’ command"
this is broken, has been broken for months. I would like to not have to retort to random fixes to make this basic thing work
I have to do this, which is a little annoying and depends on matching the cursor appimage, it works but surely the cursor team can take care of this simple thing?
~/bin/cursor.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Directory where the AppImages are stored
app_dir="$HOME/Documents"
# Find the latest version using pattern matching
latest_app=$(ls "$app_dir" | grep 'Cursor-.*x86_64\.AppImage$' | sort -V | tail -n 1)
if [ -z "$latest_app" ]; then
echo "No AppImage found in $app_dir"
exit 1
fi
# Full path to the latest AppImage
path_to_app="$app_dir/$latest_app"
# Run the latest AppImage with passed arguments
$path_to_app "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1 & disown
~/.zsh_aliases
# ...
alias k=cursor.sh
then I run k .
on whatever folder I want to open
