How to use cursor on linux/wsl2?

[techybolek]

I’ve installed cursor using cursor Setup…x64.exe on windows. How do I use it on linux/wsl2?

Same as with vscode. Install WSL extension (ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl), and it should all work out of the box.

Ok thanks. Now I have a question that probably sounds awkward. How do I open the a wsl folder in cursor for the first time? For vscode I did this by typing ‘code’ in wsl2. After that wsl folders were available to me when creating new workspaces. Right now, after installing the extension 'WSL v0.81.8" I’m not seeing any option to open a WSL folder…

if you have already installed extension then click on where arrow is pointing, then select your wsl distro to load directory
