How to install Cursor AI IDE on Fedora Asahi Linux Arm64
Cursor AI IDE is a powerful AI-powered IDE that can help you write code faster and more efficiently.
I recently install Fedora Asahi Linux on my Macbook M1. Cursor AI IDE is not currently officially available for Linux Arm64 architecture. Thankfully, someone has created a build for Linux Arm64 architecture.
You can follow the steps below to install Cursor AI IDE on Fedora Asahi Linux.
Step 1: Download latest release AppImage from here
mkdir -p ~/Applications
cd ~/Applications
wget https://github.com/coder/cursor-arm/releases/download/v0.42.2/cursor_0.42.2_linux_arm64.AppImage
Step 2: Make the AppImage executable
chmod +x cursor_0.42.2_linux_arm64.AppImage
Step 3: Download cursor logo from here
cd ~/Applications
wget https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/126759922?v=4 -O cursor.png
Step 4. Create desktop entry
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
touch ~/.local/share/applications/cursor.desktop
Step 4. Add details to the desktop entry
# Replace Exec and Icon path with your own.
tee -a ~/.local/share/applications/cursor.desktop<<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Cursor
Comment=Cursor
Exec=/home/themythicalengineer/Applications/cursor_0.42.2_linux_arm64.AppImage
Icon=/home/themythicalengineer/Applications/cursor.png
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;
Terminal=false
EOF
Step 5: Make the desktop entry executable
chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/cursor.desktop
Now you should be able to see Cursor AI IDE in your applications menu.
These steps should work on any Linux distribution that supports AppImage.
