Add to Application List

Follow these steps to add Cursor to your applications list

Step 1 Move the app from the download to opt folder

sudo mv cursor-0.42.4x86_64.AppImage /opt/cursor.appimage

Step 2 Create a desktop entry for Cursor by running the command

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/cursor.desktop

Step 3 Paste the following in the file you've just created

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Cursor
Exec=/opt/cursor.appimage
Icon=/opt/cursor.png
Type=Application
Categories=Development;

Step 4 Save the file

ctl + x

press y

press enter

As Final Step, we should add an icon to the app so you can tell it apart from other applications

Since we moved the app into the /opt directory, add a .png image into the /opt directory as well. The image file should be named cursor.png as defined when we created the desktop entry.

If you did all the steps and you application icon is not showing Log Out then login again
