Hello!
First you need to give execution permission to the AppImage.
In my case, I did it like this: sudo chmod +x cursor-0.45.11-build-250207y6nbaw5qc-x86_64.AppImage
Then you just need to do ./cursor-0.45.11-build-250207y6nbaw5qc-x86_64.AppImage
And if you want, you can put the path like this ./Downloads/cursor-0.45.14-build-250219jnihavxsz-x86_64.AppImage
I hope this helps.

I don’t know if Cursor accepts the directory as an argument.
I’m using version 0.45.14 and I can’t get it to open the current directory or any other directory passed as an argument.
Maybe that’s why it’s not possible to do exactly what you want.
