66
- 2. **Sufficient disk space** - At least 2 GB available
67
- 3. **Minimum RAM** - 4 GB RAM recommended
68
- 4. **Administrative privileges** - Required on most platforms for installation
69
-
70
- ## Platform-Specific Installation
71
-
72
- ### macOS (Homebrew)
73
-
74
- #### Prerequisites
75
-
76
- - macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later
77
- - Homebrew package manager installed
78
- - Terminal access
79
-
80
- Homebrew supports both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs. If Homebrew is not installed, install it first:
81
-
82
- ```bash
83
- NONINTERACTIVE=1 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
84
- ```
85
-
86
- #### Installation Steps
87
-
88
- Run the following command to install Cursor via Homebrew:
89
-
90
- ```bash
91
- brew install --cask --quiet cursor
92
- ```
93
-
94
- The `--cask` flag indicates this is a macOS application (not a command-line formula), and `--quiet` suppresses non-essential output for automation compatibility.
95
-
96
- After installation, Cursor is available in `/Applications/Cursor.app` and can be launched from Spotlight or the Applications folder.
97
-
98
- #### Verification
99
-
100
- Confirm the installation succeeded by launching the application:
101
-
102
- ```bash
103
- open -a Cursor
104
- ```
105
-
106
- Alternatively, verify the application exists:
107
-
108
- ```bash
109
- ls /Applications/Cursor.app
110
- ```
111
-
112
- Expected output:
113
-
114
- ```
115
- /Applications/Cursor.app
116
- ```
117
-
118
- #### Troubleshooting
119
-
120
- **Problem**: `brew: command not found`
121
-
122
- **Solution**: Homebrew is not installed or not in PATH. Install Homebrew or add it to your PATH:
123
-
124
- ```bash
125
- eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
126
- ```
127
-
128
- For Intel Macs, use:
129
-
130
- ```bash
131
- eval "$(/usr/local/bin/brew shellenv)"
132
- ```
133
-
134
- **Problem**: Installation fails with "Cask 'cursor' is unavailable"
135
-
136
- **Solution**: Update Homebrew to get the latest cask definitions:
137
-
138
- ```bash
139
- brew update
140
- brew install --cask --quiet cursor
141
- ```
142
-
143
- **Problem**: App shows "Cursor can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software"
144
-
145
- **Solution**: This can occur on first launch. Right-click the app in Applications and select "Open", then click "Open" in the dialog. Alternatively, clear the quarantine flag:
146
-
147
- ```bash
148
- xattr -cr /Applications/Cursor.app
149
- ```
150
-
151
- **Problem**: Cursor does not appear in PATH for terminal commands
152
-
153
- **Solution**: Open Cursor, then press `Cmd+Shift+P` to open the Command Palette. Type "Shell Command: Install 'cursor' command in PATH" and select it. This adds the `cursor` command to your terminal.
154

156
-
157
- ### Ubuntu/Debian (APT)
158
-
159
- #### Prerequisites
160
-
161
- - Ubuntu 20.04 or later, or Debian 10 or later (64-bit x86_64 or ARM64)
162
- - sudo privileges
163
- - Active internet connection
164
-
165
- #### Installation Steps
166
-
167
- **Method: Download and Install .deb Package**
168
-
169
- Download and install the Cursor .deb package directly. This method enables automatic updates through your package manager.
170
-
171
- ```bash
172
- curl -fsSL "https://www.cursor.com/api/download?platform=linux-deb-x64&releaseTrack=stable" -o /tmp/cursor.deb && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y /tmp/cursor.deb && rm /tmp/cursor.deb
173
- ```
174
-
175
- This command:
176
- - Downloads the latest stable Cursor .deb package for x86_64
177
- - Installs it using apt-get with no interactive prompts
178
- - Cleans up the downloaded file
179
-
180
- For ARM64 systems (like AWS Graviton), use:
181
-
182
- ```bash
183
- curl -fsSL "https://www.cursor.com/api/download?platform=linux-deb-arm64&releaseTrack=stable" -o /tmp/cursor.deb && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y /tmp/cursor.deb && rm /tmp/cursor.deb
184
- ```
185
-
186
- After installation, Cursor is available in your application menu and can be launched from the terminal with the `cursor` command.
187
-
188
- **Alternative Method: AppImage (Portable)**
189
-
190
- If you prefer not to use the package manager or encounter issues with the .deb package:
191
-
192
- ```bash
193
- curl -fsSL "https://www.cursor.com/api/download?platform=linux-appImage-x64&releaseTrack=stable" -o /tmp/cursor.AppImage && chmod +x /tmp/cursor.AppImage && sudo mv /tmp/cursor.AppImage /opt/cursor.AppImage
194
- ```
195
-
196
- Install the required FUSE library for AppImage support:
197
-
198
- For Ubuntu 20.04 - 22.04:
199
-
200
- ```bash
201
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y libfuse2
202
- ```
203
-
204
- For Ubuntu 24.04 and later:
205
-
206
- ```bash
207
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y libfuse2t64
208
- ```
209
-
210
- **Important**: On Ubuntu 22.04 and later, do NOT install the `fuse` package directly as it can remove critical system packages. Always use `libfuse2` or `libfuse2t64` instead.
211
-
212
- #### Verification
213
-
214
- For .deb installation, verify with:
215
-
216
- ```bash
217
- cursor --version
218
- ```
219
-
220
- For AppImage installation, verify with:
221
-
222
- ```bash
223
- /opt/cursor.AppImage --version
224
- ```
225
-
226
- Launch Cursor:
227
-
228
- ```bash
229
- cursor
230
- ```
231
-
232
- Or for AppImage:
233
-
234
- ```bash
235
- /opt/cursor.AppImage
236
- ```
237
-
238
- #### Troubleshooting
239
-
240
- **Problem**: "dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2" when running AppImage
241
-
242
- **Solution**: Install the FUSE library as shown in the installation steps. Alternatively, extract and run the AppImage without FUSE:
243
-
244
- ```bash
245
- /opt/cursor.AppImage --appimage-extract
246
- ./squashfs-root/cursor
247
- ```
248
-
249
- **Problem**: Sandbox errors when launching Cursor
250
-
251
- **Solution**: In trusted environments, you can bypass sandbox restrictions. Modify your launch command:
252
-
253
- ```bash
254
- /opt/cursor.AppImage --no-sandbox
255
- ```
256
-
257
- **Note**: Using `--no-sandbox` reduces security. Only use this in trusted environments.
258
-
259
- **Problem**: apt update fails after installing Cursor .deb
260
-
261
- **Solution**: There are known issues with the Cursor apt repository on some systems. If apt update fails, temporarily disable the Cursor repository:
262
-
263
- ```bash
264
- sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cursor.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cursor.list.disabled
265
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y
266
- ```
267
-
268
- Cursor will still work; you will just need to update it manually by downloading a new .deb package.
269
-
270
- **Problem**: `cursor: command not found` after installation
271
-
272
- **Solution**: The cursor command may not be in your PATH. Open Cursor graphically, then use the Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P`) and run "Shell Command: Install 'cursor' command in PATH".
273
-
274
- ---
275
-
276
- ### Raspberry Pi OS (APT)
277
-
278
- #### Prerequisites
279
-
280
- - Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) - ARM64/aarch64 architecture **required**
281
- - Raspberry Pi 4 or later with 4 GB or more RAM recommended
282
- - sudo privileges
283
- - Active internet connection
284
-
285
- **Critical Architecture Requirement**: Cursor requires a 64-bit operating system. Verify your architecture:
286
-
287
- ```bash
288
- uname -m
289
- ```
290
-
291
- This must output `aarch64`. If it outputs `armv7l`, you are running 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS and must install the 64-bit version from the Raspberry Pi Imager.
292
-
293
- #### Installation Steps
294
-
295
- **Method: Download and Install .deb Package (ARM64)**
296
-
297
- ```bash
298
- curl -fsSL "https://www.cursor.com/api/download?platform=linux-deb-arm64&releaseTrack=stable" -o /tmp/cursor.deb && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y /tmp/cursor.deb && rm /tmp/cursor.deb
299
- ```
300
-
301
- **Alternative Method: AppImage (ARM64)**
302
-
303
- ```bash
304
- curl -fsSL "https://www.cursor.com/api/download?platform=linux-appImage-arm64&releaseTrack=stable" -o /tmp/cursor.AppImage && chmod +x /tmp/cursor.AppImage && sudo mv /tmp/cursor.AppImage /opt/cursor.AppImage
305
- ```
306
-
307
- Install the FUSE library for AppImage support:
308
-
309
- ```bash
310
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y libfuse2
311
- ```
312
-
313
- #### Verification
314
-
315
- For .deb installation:
316
-
317
- ```bash
318
- cursor --version
319
- ```
320
-
321
- For AppImage installation:
322
-
323
- ```bash
324
- /opt/cursor.AppImage --version
325
- ```
326
-
327
- #### Troubleshooting
328
-
329
- **Problem**: Cursor crashes immediately on launch
330
-
331
- **Solution**: Some users have reported crashes with the ARM64 AppImage on Raspberry Pi 5. Try using the .deb package instead, or extract and run the AppImage:
332
-
333
- ```bash
334
- /opt/cursor.AppImage --appimage-extract
335
- ./squashfs-root/cursor --no-sandbox
336
- ```
337
-
338
- **Problem**: `uname -m` shows `armv7l` instead of `aarch64`
339
-
340
- **Solution**: You are running 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS. Cursor requires 64-bit. Download and install the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS image from https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/.
341
-
342
- **Problem**: Slow performance or high memory usage
343
-
344
- **Solution**: Raspberry Pi has limited resources. Close other applications and ensure you have at least 4 GB RAM. Consider increasing swap:
345
-
346
- ```bash
347
- sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
348
- sudo sed -i 's/CONF_SWAPSIZE=.*/CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048/' /etc/dphys-swapfile
349
- sudo dphys-swapfile setup
350
- sudo dphys-swapfile swapon
351
- ```
352
-
353
- **Problem**: Display issues on Wayland
354
-
355
- **Solution**: If you experience rendering issues on Wayland, try running with X11:
356
-
357
- ```bash
358
- GDK_BACKEND=x11 cursor
359
- ```

395
-
396
- For headless servers or environments where the RPM installation is not suitable:
397
-
398
- ```bash
399
- curl -fsSL "https://www.cursor.com/api/download?platform=linux-appImage-x64&releaseTrack=stable" -o /tmp/cursor.AppImage && chmod +x /tmp/cursor.AppImage && sudo mv /tmp/cursor.AppImage /opt/cursor.AppImage
400
- ```
401
-
402
- Install FUSE for AppImage support:
403
-
404
- ```bash
405
- sudo dnf install -y fuse fuse-libs
406
- ```

-
410
- ```bash
411
- sudo yum install -y fuse fuse-libs
412
- ```
413
-
414
- #### Verification
415
-
416
- For RPM installation:
417
-
418
- ```bash
419
- cursor --version
420
- ```
421
-
422
- For AppImage installation:
423
-
424
- ```bash
425
- /opt/cursor.AppImage --version
426
- ```
427
-
428
- #### Troubleshooting
429
-
430
- **Problem**: No graphical display available
431
-
432
- **Solution**: Cursor is a GUI application and requires a desktop environment. For headless servers, you can use X11 forwarding:
433
-
434
- ```bash
435
- ssh -X user@server
436
- cursor
437
- ```
438
-
439
- Or install a desktop environment:
440
-
441
- ```bash
442
- sudo dnf groupinstall -y "Server with GUI"
443
- ```
444
-
445
- **Problem**: AppImage fails with "FUSE not available"
446
-
447
- **Solution**: Install FUSE:
448
-
449
- ```bash
450
- sudo dnf install -y fuse fuse-libs
451
- ```
452
-
453
- Or extract and run the AppImage directly:
454
-
455
- ```bash
456
- /opt/cursor.AppImage --appimage-extract
457
- ./squashfs-root/cursor
458
- ```
459
-
460
- **Problem**: SELinux blocking execution
461
-
462
- **Solution**: Check the audit log for SELinux denials:
463
-
464
- ```bash
465
- sudo ausearch -m avc -ts recent
466
- ```
467
-
468
- For testing, you can temporarily set SELinux to permissive mode:
469
-
470
- ```bash
471
- sudo setenforce 0
472
- ```
473
-
474
- **Note**: This is temporary. For production, create a proper SELinux policy.
475
-
476
- **Problem**: Missing dependencies
477
-
478
- **Solution**: Install common dependencies:
479
-
480
- ```bash
481
- sudo dnf install -y libX11 libXScrnSaver gtk3 nss alsa-lib
482
- ```
483

487
-
488
- #### Prerequisites
489
-
490
- - Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11
491
- - winget package manager (pre-installed on Windows 10 1809+ and Windows 11)
492
- - Administrator privileges recommended
493
- - Active internet connection
494
-
495
- #### Installation Steps
496
-
497
- Run the following command in an Administrator PowerShell or Command Prompt:
498
-
499
- ```powershell
500
- winget install --id Anysphere.Cursor --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
501
- ```
502
-
503
- This command:
504
- - `--id Anysphere.Cursor` - Specifies the Cursor package
505
- - `--silent` - Runs without user prompts
506
- - `--accept-package-agreements` - Automatically accepts package license agreements
507
- - `--accept-source-agreements` - Automatically accepts source license agreements
508
-
509
- **Alternative Method: Chocolatey**
510
-
511
- If Chocolatey is installed, you can use:
512
-
513
- ```powershell
514
- choco install cursoride -y
515
- ```
516
-
517
- The `-y` flag automatically confirms the installation without prompts.
518
-
519
- **Note**: The Chocolatey package name is `cursoride`, not `cursor`.
520
-
521
- After installation, close and reopen your terminal for PATH updates to take effect.
522
-
523
- #### Verification
524
-
525
- Open a new PowerShell or Command Prompt window, then verify the installation:
526
-
527
- ```powershell
528
- winget list --id Anysphere.Cursor
529
- ```
530
-
531
- Or launch Cursor:
532
-
533
- ```powershell
534
- cursor
535
- ```
536
-
537
- Alternatively, search for "Cursor" in the Start Menu.
538
-
539
- #### Troubleshooting
540
-
541
- **Problem**: `winget: The term 'winget' is not recognized`
542
-
543
- **Solution**: winget may not be installed or PATH may not be updated. Install App Installer from the Microsoft Store:
544
-
545
- ```powershell
546
- start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9NBLGGH4NNS1
547
- ```
548
-
549
- After installation, open a new terminal window.
550
-
551
- **Problem**: Installation fails with "Administrator privileges required"
552
-
553
- **Solution**: Right-click PowerShell or Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator", then retry the installation command.
554
-
555
- **Problem**: `cursor: command not found` after installation
556
-
557
- **Solution**: The PATH has not been updated. Close and reopen your terminal. If the problem persists, open Cursor from the Start Menu, then use the Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P`) and run "Shell Command: Install 'cursor' command in PATH".
558
-
559
- **Problem**: Windows Defender SmartScreen blocks the installer
560
-
561
- **Solution**: Cursor is a legitimate application from Anysphere. Click "More info" and then "Run anyway". For enterprise environments, contact your IT administrator to whitelist the Cursor installer.
562
-
563
- **Problem**: Antivirus flags the installer
564
-
565
- **Solution**: Some antivirus software may flag the installer due to its behavior. Temporarily disable your antivirus during installation, or add an exception for the Cursor installer and installation directory.
566

568
-
569
- ### WSL (Ubuntu)
570
-
571
- #### Prerequisites
572
-
573
- - Windows 10 version 2004 or later, or Windows 11
574
- - Windows Subsystem for Linux installed with Ubuntu distribution
575
- - WSL 2 recommended for best performance
576
- - Cursor installed on Windows (see Windows section above)
577
-
578
- **Important**: Cursor runs on Windows and connects to WSL using the Remote - WSL extension pattern (similar to VS Code). You do not install Cursor inside WSL itself. Instead, install Cursor on Windows and use its remote development capabilities to connect to your WSL environment.
579
-
580
- Verify WSL is installed and running Ubuntu:
581
-
582
- ```bash
583
- wsl --list --verbose
584
- ```
585
-
586
- #### Installation Steps
587
-
588
- **Step 1: Install Cursor on Windows**
589
-
590
- From PowerShell (as Administrator):
591
-
592
- ```powershell
593
- winget install --id Anysphere.Cursor --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
594
- ```
595
-
596
- **Step 2: Configure WSL PATH (Optional)**
597
-
598
- To launch Cursor from within WSL, add the Windows Cursor installation to your WSL PATH. Add this line to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` in WSL:
599
-
600
- ```bash
601
- echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/mnt/c/Users/$(cmd.exe /c echo %USERNAME% 2>/dev/null | tr -d '\r')/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
602
- ```
603
-
604
- **Step 3: Connect to WSL from Cursor**
605
-
606
- 1. Launch Cursor on Windows
607
- 2. Click the green icon in the bottom-left corner (shows "><" or "Remote")
608
- 3. Select "Connect to WSL" from the menu
609
- 4. Choose your Ubuntu distribution from the list
610
- 5. Cursor installs the necessary server components in WSL (first connection may take a few minutes)
611
-
612
- After connecting, you can open folders and files within your WSL filesystem directly from Cursor.
613
-
614
- #### Verification
615
-
616
- From within WSL, verify you can launch Cursor (after PATH configuration):
617
-
618
- ```bash
619
- cursor --version
620
- ```
621
-
622
- Or from Windows, verify Cursor can connect to WSL:
623
-
624
- 1. Open Cursor
625
- 2. Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` to open the Command Palette
626
- 3. Type "Remote-WSL: New Window" and select it
627
- 4. Verify Cursor opens with a WSL connection (indicated in the bottom-left corner)
628
-
629
- #### Troubleshooting
630
-
631
- **Problem**: "WSL extension is supported only in Microsoft versions of VS Code"
632
-
633
- **Solution**: This error can occur if there is a conflict with VS Code Remote extensions. Ensure you are using the latest version of Cursor. Reinstall Cursor if necessary:
634
-
635
- ```powershell
636
- winget uninstall --id Anysphere.Cursor --silent
637
- winget install --id Anysphere.Cursor --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
638
- ```
639
-
640
- **Problem**: Cannot connect to WSL from Cursor
641
-
642
- **Solution**: Ensure WSL 2 is installed and your distribution is running:
643
-
644
- ```powershell
645
- wsl --set-default-version 2
646
- wsl --install -d Ubuntu
647
- ```
648
-
649
- Restart WSL:
650
-
651
- ```powershell
652
- wsl --shutdown
653
- wsl
654
- ```
655
-
656
- **Problem**: Slow file access when working with Windows files from WSL
657
-
658
- **Solution**: WSL has slower performance when accessing files on the Windows filesystem (`/mnt/c/`). For best performance, keep your projects within the WSL filesystem (`~/projects/` or similar).
659
-
660
- **Problem**: `cursor: command not found` in WSL
661
-
662
- **Solution**: The PATH may not include the Windows Cursor installation. Verify the path exists and update your shell configuration:
663
-
664
- ```bash
665
- ls "/mnt/c/Users/$(cmd.exe /c echo %USERNAME% 2>/dev/null | tr -d '\r')/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin"
666
- ```
667
-
668
- If the directory does not exist, Cursor may be installed in a different location. Search for it:
669
-
670
- ```bash
671
- find /mnt/c/Users -name "cursor" -type d 2>/dev/null | head -5
672
- ```
673

690
- Git Bash can execute Windows commands, so use winget from within Git Bash:
691
-
692
- ```bash
693
- winget.exe install --id Anysphere.Cursor --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
694
- ```
695
-
696
- **Alternative: Use PowerShell from Git Bash**
697
-
698
- ```bash
699
- powershell.exe -Command "winget install --id Anysphere.Cursor --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements"
700
- ```
701
-
702
- **Alternative: Use Chocolatey from Git Bash**
703
-
704
- ```bash
705
- choco.exe install cursoride -y
706
- ```
707
-
708
- After installation, close and reopen Git Bash for PATH updates to take effect.
709
-

716
- ```
717
-
718
- Or launch Cursor:
719
-
720
- ```bash
721
- cursor
722
- ```
723
-
724
- If the cursor command is not available, launch via Windows:
725
-
726
- ```bash
727
- cmd.exe /c start "" "Cursor"
728
- ```
729
-
730
- #### Troubleshooting
731
-
732
- **Problem**: `winget.exe: command not found`
733
-
734
- **Solution**: Winget may not be in the Git Bash PATH. Use the full path:
735
-
736
- ```bash
737
- "/c/Users/$USER/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/winget.exe" install --id Anysphere.Cursor --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
738
- ```
739
-
740
- **Problem**: `cursor: command not found` after installation
741
-
742
- **Solution**: The PATH in Git Bash may not include the Cursor binary. Add it manually:
743
-
744
- ```bash
745
- echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/c/Users/$USER/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
746
- source ~/.bashrc
747
- ```
748
-
749
- **Problem**: PowerShell command fails from Git Bash
750
-
751
- **Solution**: Ensure PowerShell is accessible. Try using the full path:
752
-
753
- ```bash
754
- "/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/powershell.exe" -Command "winget install --id Anysphere.Cursor --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements"
755
- ```
756
-
757
- **Problem**: Cannot launch Cursor from Git Bash
758
-
759
- **Solution**: Use the Windows `start` command through cmd:
760
-
761
- ```bash
762
- cmd.exe /c start "" "Cursor"
763
- ```
764
-
765
- Or open directly using the Windows path:
766
-
767
- ```bash
768
- "/c/Users/$USER/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/Cursor.exe" &
769
- ```

834
- 2. Check your internet connection
835
- 3. Verify your subscription status (some features require paid plans)
836
- 4. Check Cursor status at https://status.cursor.com/
837
-
838
- ### Issue: High CPU or Memory Usage
839
-
840
- **Symptoms**: Cursor consumes excessive system resources.
841
-
842
- **Solution**:
843
- 1. Disable unused extensions (Extensions view > Installed > Disable)
844
- 2. Close unused editor tabs
845
- 3. Reduce the number of open projects
846
- 4. Restart Cursor to clear cached data
847
-
848
- ### Issue: Extensions Not Working
849
-
850
- **Symptoms**: VS Code extensions fail to install or function.
851
-
852
- **Solution**:

855
- 3. Try reinstalling the extension
856
- 4. Report incompatible extensions to the Cursor team
857

858
- ### Issue: Cursor Cannot Find Installed Packages (Node, Python, etc.)
859
-
860
- **Symptoms**: Terminal in Cursor cannot find globally installed packages.
861
-
862
- **Solution**: Cursor may not inherit your shell's PATH. Add this to your shell configuration:
863
-
864
- For macOS/Linux (`~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`):
865
-
866
- ```bash
867
- export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin"
868
- ```
869
-
870
- Restart Cursor after modifying shell configuration.
871
-
872
- ### Issue: Git Integration Not Working
873
-
874
- **Symptoms**: Git status, diff, or other features do not work.
875
-
876
- **Solution**:
877
- 1. Ensure Git is installed and in your PATH
878
- 2. Open a terminal in Cursor and run `git --version`
879
- 3. If Git is not found, install it or add it to your PATH
880
- 4. Configure Git user identity if prompted:
881
-
882
- ```bash
883
- git config --global user.name "Your Name"
884
- git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"
885
- ```
