When using my auto update script for Linux, it’s been looking here : downloader.cursor.sh/linux/appImage/x64
but going there it downloads v0.45.14
however, 0.46.11 is the most recent version from the downloads page. Is there a new link to the repository?
Now 0.48 is the most recent version, and the link still gives you 0.45 version.
Hey, version 0.48 is not available yet, it’s in beta. The latest stable version is 0.47, and you can get it here:
The linux updater doesn’t work well. Even if you go to cursor settings/Beta and turn on early access, I found it never updated to the most recent version.
I lieu of this, I had cursor write a script to auto update itself at midnight every night using a cron job. It uses this repository : GitHub - oslook/cursor-ai-downloads: All Cursor AI's official download links for both the latest and older versions, making it easy for you to update, downgrade, and choose any version. 🚀
As a side note, it was having a hard time figuring out which one to download so I had to explicitly tell it to use the version-history.json to look for the most recent x86 app image.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oslook/cursor-ai-downloads/main/version-history.json
The script downloads the newest version and an icon and sets up a desktop entry and all of that so it’s updated every morning!
Cheers!
Then how is it that when i click the Download button from the home page, i get the 0.48.6 version? Doesn’t say beta, or anything.
Also: https://www.cursor.com/api/download?platform=linux-x64&releaseTrack=stable
url suggests it’s a stable version, and json states it’s the 0.48.6 version.
I found this link on a forum and I’m using it for a script to check and update to the latest version using jq utility (it processes and manipulates json via the command line).
You can use this:
I think you’ll notice the repo is a step ahead of the download button. Right now the button gives you 0.48.6 but the repo is updated to 0.48.7
