I’m new to Cursor and trying to transfer a project from Bolt to Cursor. My project is a React/TypeScript app, and I’ve managed to move the files over, install dependencies, and even start the development server.
The problem is, I can’t seem to get the Cursor Agent to help me:
1. It doesn’t edit my code directly when I ask it to (e.g., “Add a footer” or “Remove a button”).
2. It won’t run commands like npm install or npm run dev for me.
3. I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with my setup or if I’m just missing a step.
I’d really appreciate some guidance on:
• How to fully set up and transfer a project from Bolt to Cursor.
• How to get the Agent to handle code changes and run commands for me going forward.
Hey, the agent should be able to do both of those things you describe.
Can you send a screenshot of what happens if you ask it to run npm install for you?
I presume you mean to the agent and not directly in the terminal? Above is what it says.
To note, I am very much a novice to this so I appreciate it there is a missing step that I haven’t done in transferring code over from Bolt to Cursor… if there is any literature on this then let me know too. Thanks,
