Failed to install cursor

I'm have this error when I'm trying to install cursor with the script:

In Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

I'm hitting a similar (but possibly different error) at the start:

I'm very much connected to the internet (that's how I'm posting this!)

I have the similar problem.

It seems like current version of the script uses download URL: https://downloader.cursor.sh/linux/appImage/x64

At the moment they changed the link and it does not work anymore. The new link is: https://downloads.cursor.com/production/031e7e0ff1e2eda9c1a0f5df67d44053b059c5df/linux/x64/Cursor-1.2.1-x86_64.AppImage

The problem is that with previous link the script gets remote Cursor version from the headers. But current URL does not have those headers and the version is inferred from the link itself. It means that if the new version of Cursor is up, we would need to change the download url manually.

At this moment I don't really know how we can dynamically infer the app version from the static link.

I found out that there is an api endpoint that serves the latest stable version data of the app.
https://cursor.com/api/download?platform=linux-x64&releaseTrack=stable

It returns

{
"version":"1.2.2","commitSha":"faa03b17cce93e8a80b7d62d57f5eda6bb6ab9fa",
"downloadUrl":"https://downloads.cursor.com/production/faa03b17cce93e8a80b7d62d57f5eda6bb6ab9fa/linux/x64/Cursor-1.2.2-x86_64.AppImage",
"rehUrl":"https://cursor.blob.core.windows.net/remote-releases/faa03b17cce93e8a80b7d62d57f5eda6bb6ab9f0/vscode-reh-linux-x64.tar.gz"
}

I can open a PR to leverage API to get latest version, but it would break the current logic that relies on headers and ETag for version detection.

I was using the content from this PR, but it stopped working again.

@welinton-padua yes you're right (this PR is old). Btw as referenced (#23) in this PR, it seems this project is not maintained anymore, so I proposed to maintain a fork. The bug you mentioned was actually fixed there. mablr/cursor-installer#6
