Cursor ai official website : https://www.cursor.com/downloads
After entering the official website, select the appropriate version according to your operating system:
Windows : Supports Windows 10 and above

Linux (currently supports some distributions)
Click the "Download" button to download the latest version of the installation file.
Open the downloaded .exe file.
Follow the installation wizard to click " Next " and select the installation path.
After the installation is complete, Cursor ai will start automatically.
Open the downloaded .dmg file.
Drag the Cursor icon to the application folder to complete the installation.
Enter the application and double-click Cursor ai to start.
In Linux, it appears as a file. Before executing it, we need to make it executable using the following command:
chmod a+x cursor-0.40.3x86_64.AppImage
Then we can execute it like this:
./cursor-0.40.3x86_64.AppImage
Depending on the downloaded version, we may need to replace version 0.40.3x86_64 in the above command. For more instructions on how to install application image files, check out their website .
After installation, we will see the following configuration screen:
✅Keyboard : This option allows us to configure keyboard shortcuts. By default, it uses the VS Code shortcut, which I recommend unless you are familiar with other code editors in the list.
✅ Language of Artificial Intelligence: Here we can choose to interact with AI in non-English languages.
✅Code Library Scope: Enable this option to let the AI understand the context of the entire code base.
✅Add Terminal Commands: If installed, these commands allow the Cursor AI Editor to run from the terminal.
Cursor ai inherits the powerful plug-in ecosystem of VS Code. If you are already using VS Code , you can choose to migrate existing VS Code configurations , including:
✅ Theme & Code Style
✅ Shortcut Key Settings
✅ Installed VS Code Plugin
Migration method:
1. Open Cursor ai and enter Settings.
2. Under the General tab, find Import VS Code Settings.
3. Click the " Import " button and wait for the import to complete.
If you are using the AI code editor for the first time , you can directly use the Cursor default configuration and make personalized adjustments according to your needs later.
In the future, you can further learn Cursor ai advanced functions , such as code refactoring, AI debugging, automatic unit testing , etc. , so that AI can completely improve your programming efficiency!
