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:

```bash
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:

```bash
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:

```plaintext
https://api2.cursor.sh/updates/download/golden/linux-x64-deb/cursor/latest

```

Let me know how it goes.
