How to Install Cursor on Ubuntu (2025)

Cursor is an AI-powered editor that makes coding easier and faster. Installing it on Ubuntu is as simple as downloading a .deb file and running one command.

1. Go to official cursor download page. Download the latest .deb file (recommended for Ubuntu/Debian).

2. Open a terminal and navigate into the directory where you saved the .deb (e.g. Downloads):

cd Downloads
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Install Cursor.
Change cursor.deb to the actual filename, for example cursor_1.6.35_amd64.deb.

sudo apt install ./cursor.deb
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After installation you should see Cursor in your app launcher 🎉.
