Try with terminal?
(For arm64 mac):

curl -L https://download.cursor.sh/mac/arm64 -o ~/Downloads/Cursor.dmg

or

wget https://download.cursor.sh/mac/arm64 -O ~/Downloads/Cursor.dmg

For Intel-based Macs (x64/x86_64) try:

curl -L https://download.cursor.sh/mac/x64 -o ~/Downloads/Cursor.dmg

or

wget https://download.cursor.sh/mac/x64 -O ~/Downloads/Cursor.dmg

After downloading the DMG file:

  1. Double-click the downloaded Cursor.dmg file
  2. Drag the Cursor app to the Applications folder
  3. Launch Cursor from the Applications folder

Hey, it might have been temporarily unavailable. I just checked, and it’s working for me. In any case, try downloading it from the downloads page:

Hey hey, that seems like a DNS issue?

Try downloading from the cursor app website directly Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor

if not perhaps trying clearing the DNS cache:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

or using Google’s DNS servers for the download
curl -L --dns-servers 8.8.8.8 https://download.cursor.sh/mac/arm64 -o ~/Downloads/Cursor.dmg

The error might also occur due to incorrectly copying the commands? Make sure if you using one of the previously mentioned terminal commands to not add extra space in the command or something.
