I am not able to install the Remote - SSH extension in Cursor 0.41.2 I don’t see it when I search in extensions and when I get one of the versions from [Remote - SSH - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh&ssr=false#overview) then it tells me “Error: Unable to install extension ‘ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh’ as it is not compatible with VS Code ‘1.91.1’.” when I try to install it in Cursor What am I doing wrong? Anyone else having this issue? ![Screenshot 2024-09-28 at 10.39.44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/2X/7/77621e85647bc22d037bfccbbca66d60542e5fa7.png) Cursor Version: 0.41.2 VSCode Version: 1.91.1 Commit: 297991d169fa3a11975c5aa95adc69be73250c70 Date: 2024-09-21T04:18:39.370Z Electron: 29.4.0 ElectronBuildId: undefined Chromium: 122.0.6261.156 Node.js: 20.9.0 V8: 12.2.281.27-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 23.5.0 ---

Hi @ndengler Hmm, that’s weird, I’ve just set everything up. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/2X/b/b0f9280f86d7f8338753b0e9625280c5b817509e.png) ---

Yes, strange, but now I’ve finally managed to install Remote - SSH manually. I had it install on VScode and could download and reuse previous versions of it. Note that ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-0.114 did not work But ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-0.112 works, finally 🙂 ---

@deanrie, I’m new to VS Code/Cursor, are you accessing the Marketplace from VS Code? I want to be able to run Cursor remotely on an Umbuntu machine on AWS, do I install the VS Code remote-ssh extension to do so? I’m able to connect to the remote machine via ssh in the Cursor terminal, but not sure of next steps. I appreciate any assistance! ---

i cannot find the Remote - SSH in cursor though i can manually install it in my VS Code. would you kindly share the VSCode version and your cursor version? i wonder if that is the reason for this error. ---

Hey, my Cursor version is 0.44.11 and my VS Code version is 1.93.1. What if you try to open this link? Will it open in Cursor? cursor:extension/ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh
