ERROR Failed to fetch headers from the server.

I wish developers would stop assuming that only other developers want to use their software. I would love to use this installation package but I have no idea how to overcome this ridiculous error.

Looking for the latest version online...

✖ ERROR Failed to fetch headers from the server.
• Ensure your internet connection is active and stable.
• Ensure that 'VERSION_CHECK_TIMEOUT' (5 sec) is set high enough to retrieve the headers.
• Also, verify if 'DOWNLOAD_URL' is correct: https://downloader.cursor.sh/linux/appImage/x64.

Error: Failed to execute cursor_setup.sh. Please review the script and try again.

There is no instructions on what to do with "VERSION_CHECK_TIMEOUT"- only developers know what crap like that even means. It's the little stuff like this, the details, that make learning this stuff so incredibly time consuming. If you guys would just take more time to provide enough context for laymen, perhaps we all could learn faster? I'm assuming it's something in the cursor.sh file but nothing in the install path indicates where that is. I have no idea what to do with this information.

this one worked for me. it's from one of the open PRs.

the script is on your local machine probably at /home/{you}/cursor-setup (if you're linux) so you can copy/paste and run it locally.

looks like cursor changed the API format and the person who originally made this script hasn't updated it (for whatever reasons). remember it's free and open source, so take it or leave it.

Your issue is related to #11.

I proposed a fix in #15, but that project seems to be unmaintained at the moment (see project status update #23).
