Installation and Updates in Ubuntu

Hello!!

My name is Gabriel, I am senior system analist in Brazil. The cursor is the best tool to development with IA. I need discover the correct form about installation and update cursor in my Ubuntu 22.04.

I can install and use cursor, but I don’t know like install the .AppImage to use like normal program. I always need use the right click and choose “Run as a program”. It’s possible install and update cursor using apt, snap or other tool?

In updates too I need install the .AppImage file and delete the oldest file to use the newer.

I search and use ChatGPT, Claude and other IA Agents, but I don’t achieve fix this. Can you help me?

God bless you!

Native .deb and RPM releases are now available! :tada:

Get it from Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor

Hello there,

1.6 has been released since a week and has a lot of patches already available, however the Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor isn’t up-to-date. (we still have the update prompt raising, but we can’t download newer version)

Do you plan to make the update available for linux users ?

@sacha.stafyniak we are looking into the update issue.
