### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Somewhere else… ### Describe the Bug According to [Linux DEB and RPM Downloads](https://forum.cursor.com/t/linux-deb-and-rpm-downloads/132054) it should: > Once you download it via the website, Cursor will automatically add the necessary repositories to your system on first launch, which can then be used to update Cursor using your package manager of choice. However, it does NOT install a repository file for my system to use. There are no new files in “/etc/yum.repos.d”. ### Steps to Reproduce - Install the RPM on Fedora 42. - Start Cursor ### Expected Behavior - repo file should be installed in “/etc/yum.repos.d” either by the package itself, or on launch like advertised. ### Operating System Linux ### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy) Version: 1.5.11 VSCode Version: 1.99.3 Commit: 2f2737de9aa376933d975ae30290447c910fdf40 Date: 2025-09-05T03:48:32.332Z Electron: 34.5.8 Chromium: 132.0.6834.210 Node.js: 20.19.1 V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0 OS: Linux x64 6.15.10-200.fc42.x86\_64 ### Does this stop you from using Cursor No - Cursor works, but with this issue ---

Hey deanrie, looks like the RPM repo is delayed versus normal releases? Latest on yum / dnf is currently 1.7.44, however if i download the RPM from [Download · Cursor](http://cursor.com/downloads) its 1.7.46. Any reason why the yum repo is lagging behind? ---

I guess it’s because the base url in the repo definition has an invalid config to access to the resources ```auto [cursor] name=Cursor baseurl=https://downloads.cursor.com/yumrepo enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://downloads.cursor.com/keys/anysphere.asc repo_gpgcheck=1 ``` if you access to [https://downloads.cursor.com/yumrepo](https://downloads.cursor.com/yumrepo) you get AccessDenied ---

Thats because its a distro infront of an s3 bucket with public access. You can’t list files, thats blocked. so it returns a 403. The baseurl is simply used as a base for the manifest URL (base + ‘repodata/repomd.xml’), which is [https://downloads.cursor.com/yumrepo/repodata/repomd.xml](https://downloads.cursor.com/yumrepo/repodata/repomd.xml), which does load. But that manifest appears stale. ---
