They had an RPM available at https://downloader.cursor.sh/linux/rpm/x64 and DEB at https://downloader.cursor.sh/linux/deb/x64 up until 0.46— I’m not sure why these aren’t listed at all on the downloads page.
For 0.46+, it looks like the Linux downloads reach out to https://www.cursor.com/api/download?releaseTrack=<stable/latest>&platform=linux-<arch> (platform being x64 or arm64) which gives a URL like https://downloads.cursor.com/production/client/linux/<platform>/<format>/Cursor-<cursor version>-<build ID>.deb.glibc<glibc version>-<arch>.AppImage. For example, the URL for arm64 is https://downloads.cursor.com/production/client/linux/arm64/appimage/Cursor-0.46.11-ae378be9dc2f5f1a6a1a220c6e25f9f03c8d4e19.deb.glibc2.28-aarch64.AppImage.
I’ve emailed the team, hopefully I hear back soon.
@danperks wanted to just mention that right now I can’t get “open in cursor” mime URLs to actually open on Linux and work.
So for example, things like automatically adding MCP servers or finalizing auth for MCP servers (like notion) don’t load the app and don’t work.
I believe its something between AppImage and electron apps, but I’m not sure. But maybe a different way to package it up will help?
