Trying to use Cursor with WSL2 (also with installed VisualStudio Code), but it return errors:
hunterxp@DESKTOP:~/self$ cursor .

I have checked twice, and file exists, but, looks like it made for Mac, because cat /mnt/c/Users/HUNTERxp/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/code

Hello, just to say that I am facing the exact same issue (WSL2 on Windows 10).
When I try to run âcursorâ by itself on the WSL2 prompt, I get the following error:
martel@gluon:~$ cursor
/mnt/c/Users/martel/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/cursor: 62: /mnt/c/Users/martel/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/../cursor: not found
martel@gluon:~$
Okay, so removing .cursor-server and restarting with latest (0.8.4) seems to have fixed at least Connect to WSL and existing wsl workspaces⌠However, âcursor .â from wsl does not appear to work. Using ubuntu 20.04 in Windows Terminal I get:
~/.cursor-server/bin/74f6148eb9ea00507ec113ec51c489d6ffb4b771/bin/remote-cli/cursor .
Command is only available in WSL or inside a Visual Studio Code terminal.
or
/mnt/c/Users/dolan/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/cursor .
To use Cursor with the Windows Subsystem for Linux, please install Cursor in Windows and uninstall the Linux version in WSL. You can then use the cursor command in a WSL terminal just as you would in a normal command prompt.
Do you want to continue anyway? [y/N] y
To no longer see this prompt, start Cursor with the environment variable DONT_PROMPT_WSL_INSTALL defined.
/mnt/c/Users/dolan/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/cursor: 62: /mnt/c/Users/dolan/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/âŚ/cursor: not found
Both commands do actually work from within Cursorâs terminal. FWIW, I never separately installed the linux version in WSL, beyond whatever Cursor running in windows installed for me. VSCode âcode .â command works fine in WSL.
Any ideas? Itâs very convenient to have the option of starting from the command line.
