Linux Installation

Step 1 Visit the Cursor website at https://cursor.so and click on the "Download" button.

Step 2 When the download is finished, a file with this extension .AppImage at the end will be in your download folder

Step 3 Do not click it immediately! For the file to function properly, we must first make it executable. To make the file executable, go to the Downloads folder (or the place where you downloaded the Cursor software) and execute this command.

chmod +x cursor-0.42.4x86_64.AppImage

Proceed to Step 4 if you run into a problem at this point, If you didn't encounter this error, you can skip the Step 4

bash ./cursor-0.42.4x86_64.AppImage dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

AppImages require FUSE to run. You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE for more information

Step 4 install libfuse2

sudo apt-get install libfuse2

Step 5 once you install the libfuse2 now run again this command

chmod +x cursor-0.42.4x86_64.AppImage
