How to use `uv` package manager with Cursor AI on Ubuntu 24?

How To
1

uv package manager comes via Snap in Ubuntu 24.
However all apps installed via Snap are not runnable from Cursor IDE terminals:

~ snap list |grep uv
astral-uv                  0.5.11                    298    latest/stable    lengau              classic

~ which uv
/snap/bin/uv

however:

~ uv               
The snap command lets you install, configure, refresh and remove snaps.
Snaps are packages that work across many different Linux distributions,
enabling secure delivery and operation of the latest apps and utilities.

Same issue here. No snap packages are available in the terminal in the Cursor.
