How to download 0.48.x on Mac

I want to use the custom mode feature of 0.48. x, but my cursor version is 0.47.8 and I was told that there is no latest version available


I have enabled the early access feature, but I still cannot update it

How can I resolve it?

Hey, check if your auto-updates might be disabled.


i have opened it,but it does not take a effect

Can you provide me with a download link? I have a request that I must rely on custom mode

same issue, can not update

Hey Cursor devs,

I am also stuck on 0.47.8

Your own download page makes no mention of 0.48 Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor

Now some random post shows up in the forum and claims to carry recent Cursor installers, but there is no easy way to check whether this is legit or no.

I understand you’re busy, but this starts to look like poor messaging at best.

Hi, the 0.48 is still on Early Access as they are sorting out more details as more users use it.

Here how you can get it if you prefer not to wait or (or have issues that the new version solves)

Hey, we don’t recommend downloading Cursor from other sources. As mentioned above, if you want to get this version, you need to enable early access in the Cursor settings.

There’s a reason why those sources keep popping up.

Look, this is not rocket science. There are several schemes, used by many, many projects out there, to make it clear to the users what makes a stable release vs non-stable.

Example 1:

  • keep releasing stable versions and patches: 0.47.1, 0.47.2, 0.47.3, …
  • begin pre-releases for the next version: 0.48.1-pre1, 0.48.1-pre2, …
  • finally, cut the next stable release: 0.48.1

Example 2:

  • same as above, but do release candidates instead: 0.48.1-rc1, 0.48.1-rc2, …

There are other schemes as well, just pick one and stick to it.

Cursor is great software, so kudos for that, but now that you have paying customers it’s time for the course the ship is charting to show signs there’s a captain on board.
