Trying to download and install the latest version from Cursor - The AI Code Editor but while installing I get the error as shown in the image below. Does anyone know how to get it sorted?
Thanks,

The same is happening for me, macOS Sequoia 15.3 (24D60)
Hey, thanks for the report. We’re looking into this. I hope we’ll fix it soon.
Found a work around.
Instead of just clicking Download, select all downloads, this will take you to this page Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor
There use Mac Universao instead of ARM.
This solved the issue for me, hope it works for everyone else.
Thanks,

I tried Universal and ARM versions and still doesn’t work for me
same here
In a Mac, you can do
brew install --cask cursor
to overcome this.
I’m using Sequoia 15.1, and this solved the issue. Thank you!
Same thing happened to me. Only reason I uninstalled Cursor was to try and resolve a billing issue (saw a red “Billing Error” box in the bottom left corner, and uninstalling + reinstalling was one of the troubleshooting methods) but now I can’t even redownload it 
Can confirm. It works after updating my mac to Sequoia 15.3.2. I was on Sonoma and ran Cursor 0.45.x
Same thing happened to me me today.
I was running on 0.45.x, and I needed to upgrade to 0.46x for using MCP servers, but when I downloaded the mac universal package from official site, it gave me the same error.
Installing with brew worked for me
brew install --cask cursor
Getting this today with both 0.46 and 0.45 DMGs, both Universal and ARM.
$ uname -a

Running MacOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81).
brew install workaround worked for me.
For me it worked to copy the .app to the desktop first and not to Applications directly.
I also had this issue twice.
Check Activity Monitor for running processes. There’s a process that remains running after Cursor closes; not sure if that’s intentional, named CursorUIViewService.
Force quit that, then try to drop the file into Applications again. That should solve your issue.
This was exactly what the issue with my mac was. ( Even though i had uninstalled cursor to re-install it ), the service CursorUIViewService survived the uninstall. A simple fix from cursor team with the service closure on uninstall would fix the issue is what i believe. Thanks mike 
Any time.
same here with any possible versions downloaded from the website
even via brew install --cask cursor it doesn’t work:
Error: Failure while executing; /usr/bin/env /usr/bin/xattr -w com.apple.metadata:kMDItemAlternateNames \(\"cursor\"\) /Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code exited with 1. Here’s the output:
xattr: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: ‘/Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code’
This have issues
Happen for me today with 0.48/0.47 on MacOS 15.3.2
