Discussions

I found it necessary to remove appimagelauncher as well as installing libfuse in order to run Cursor.

fuse - Can’t run an AppImage on Ubuntu 20.04 - Ask Ubuntu

As none of these links within the script work anymore, can someone update this?

specifically the download.cursor.sh the sh isn’t correct.

Updated update-cursor.sh:

#!/bin/bash

# Set the known AppImage version
APPIMAGE_VERSION="0.49.6"
FILENAME="Cursor-${APPIMAGE_VERSION}-x86_64.AppImage"
DOWNLOAD_URL="https://downloads.cursor.com/production/0781e811de386a0c5bcb07ceb259df8ff8246a52/linux/x64/${FILENAME}"

# Target filename
OUTPUT_FILE="cursor.AppImage"

# Download and rename
echo "Downloading Cursor AppImage version ${APPIMAGE_VERSION}..."
wget "$DOWNLOAD_URL" -O "$OUTPUT_FILE"

# Make it executable
chmod +x "$OUTPUT_FILE"

echo "Downloaded and saved as: $OUTPUT_FILE"
