Show HN: One-Line Installer for Cursor on Linux

https://github.com/t128n/cursor-linux
1•trbndev•1y ago
Cursor is an AI-first code editor, but Linux support is rough. AppImages, no integration, no updates. So I built simple install/update/uninstall scripts that fix this.

Install with one command:

```bash

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/t128n/cursor-linux/main/in... | sudo bash

```

Scripts:

- install.sh: Downloads Cursor AppImage, installs to /opt, sets up icons, symlinks, desktop entry.

- update.sh: Checks latest version, updates if needed.

- uninstall.sh: Clean removal.

=> GitHub: https://github.com/t128n/cursor-linux

---

[!!!] Always review scripts before running them, especially with sudo.
