Cursor update bug

Hey, quick update: the download page at cursor.com/download is serving the current stable version again on all platforms, so a fresh download from there should now give the latest version, not 3.22.12. This was on the website side, not in your setup.

If apt is still keeping you on the old version, that’s a separate repo issue on that specific machine. Send the output and we can take a look:

apt-cache policy cursor
sudo apt-get update 2>&1 | grep -i cursor
ls -l /usr/share/keyrings/anysphere.gpg

Two common cases:

  • If apt-get update shows NO_PUBKEY or is not signed, the signing key is probably missing:
curl -fsSL https://downloads.cursor.com/keys/anysphere.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/anysphere.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade cursor
  • If apt-cache policy cursor does not show a line with downloads.cursor.com/aptrepo, the Cursor repo just is not connected. Install the fresh .deb from the latest link and answer Yes when it asks to add the repo, so future updates come through apt:
https://api2.cursor.sh/updates/download/golden/linux-x64-deb/cursor/latest

Let me know how it goes.
