`cursor .` No such file or directory

[k1lgor]

When updating the app and trying to open it via the terminal:

$ cursor .
/c/Users/User/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/cursor: line 61: /c/Users/User/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/Cursor.exe: No such file or directory

The actual Cursor.exe is in ../resources/ dir.

I am using Windows 10

Workaround of ../resources/app/bin/cursor:

# line 14
- VSCODE_PATH="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(realpath "$0")")")"
+ VSCODE_PATH="$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(dirname "$0")")")")"

This could help everyone with the same issue.

I just installed v0.38.1 and got same issue on Windows 11

/c/Users/User/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/cursor: line 62: /c/Users/User/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/../cursor: No such file or directory

But now the actual Cursor.exe is in ../Programs/cursor/ dir. Workaround: in ../resources/app/bin/cursor::

# line 49
- VSCODE_PATH="$(dirname "$0")/.."
+ VSCODE_PATH="$(dirname "$0")/../../.."

I'm facing the same issue on macOS with Cursor v0.39.6. See https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/183427. I saw some clever solutions here: https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/1121#issuecomment-1863895663. But it should not be us users to fix the script on our end.

On macOS you need to modify ELECTRON="$VSCODE_PATH/cursor" to ELECTRON="$VSCODE_PATH/MacOS/Cursor". The path is completely wrong...

And this doesn't even solve the following:

$ cursor .
grep: /proc/version: No such file or directory

which I believe is coming from these lines in /Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/cursor:

# test that VSCode wasn't installed inside WSL
if grep -qi Microsoft /proc/version && [ -z "$DONT_PROMPT_WSL_INSTALL" ]; then

Thanks! But it will be good to be fixed from the developer side.

Of course, I was just leaving this here in case someone needs to have this working for the time being. but I totally agree that this needs to be fixed

Based on this comment and https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/870, I was able to get it working.
