Cursor for ARM

Cursor built for Linux and Windows ARM.

The official issue tracker has numerous issues (#1532 and #1410) for official ARM support. Read the FAQ to learn how this works.

[!NOTE] These are unofficial builds.

Install

Download the latest release and execute it.

For Nix users: nix run github:coder/cursor-arm (this should work for all architectures, not just arm).

FAQ

How is this possible?

Cursor is a closed-source fork of VS Code based on Electron that distributes using AppImage.

An AppImage is an executable archive that can be extracted with 7z. The contents are virtually the same as the built and distributed archives of VS Code.

Overwriting the JavaScript for VS Code with Cursor's archive creates a Cursor build.

cp -R $cursorSrc/resources/app/out $vscodeSrc/resources/app/

See the build process to see exactly how this works.

Shouldn't Cursor do this?

Yes. Hopefully they will!

Is this stable?

Seemingly. The build process is quite simple. Try it for yourself!

How do updates work?

The Nix flake will be updated as Cursor updates and a new GitHub release will be published.

Automatic updates do not work.
