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.
