When I click the download button from my Linux machine, it only seems to want to download the Mac version. Is there a direct link for the AppImage?

Thanks, Robert

    response = requests.get(download_url, stream=True)
    response.raise_for_status()
    
    # Save to a file
    filename = "cursor.appimage" # or extract from URL
    with open(filename, 'wb') as file:
