1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the AppImage.

2. Make the AppImage executable:

    chmod +x cursor-0.40.4x86_64.AppImage
   

3. Create a new directory to extract the content:

    mkdir ~/cursor-extracted
   

4. Extract the contents of the AppImage:

    ./cursor-0.40.4x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
   

5. Move the extracted content to the new directory:

    mv squashfs-root/* ~/cursor-extracted/
   

6. Create a startup script for Cursor:

    cat << EOF > ~/run-cursor.sh
    #!/bin/bash
    export TMPDIR=\$HOME/cursor-temp
    mkdir -p \$TMPDIR
    cd ~/cursor-extracted
    ./AppRun "\$@"
    EOF
   

This script sets up a custom temporary directory to avoid permission issues.

1. Make the script executable:

    chmod +x ~/run-cursor.sh
   

2. Run Cursor using the new script:

    ~/run-cursor.sh

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/share/code
