[SOLVED]How to update cursor-app ?

jojo06 · 2025-08-02 20:08:37

Hi!

As far as I remember I installed it with yay. I know we shouldn't use yay. But I was willing to do it just for this. However, I think it has been deleted from AUR? But it still shows itself with yay. How else can I install it? Is it okay to install it with AppImage from the website?

guns @ roses:~ % ls /opt 
containerd  cuda  cursor-app  discord  ventoy  vivaldi  whatsdesk
guns @ roses:~ % ls /opt/cursor-app 
cursor-app.AppImage
guns @ roses:~ % ls .cache/yay 
cloudflare-warp-bin  mongodb-bin  rutorrent-git         ttf-merriweather       ttf-quintessential      whatsapp-for-linux
completion.cache     mongosh-bin  slack-desktop         ttf-merriweather-sans  ttf-signika             whatsapp-for-linux-git
crunch               opera        snapd                 ttf-orbitron           vcs.json                whatsdesk-bin
cursor-app           popsicle     ttf-google-fonts-git  ttf-oswald             visual-studio-code-bin

AND:

I don't think there's any need to delete anything? `yay -S cursor-bin` will solve it, right?

You'll likely run into file conflicts as cursor-bin doesn't replace or conflicts or provides cursor-app.
So you'd have to remove the latter before installing the former - and you btw. could also just have tried.

What could I try? Yes, it asked me to remove the other one (cursor-app), so I did. Can we say it's solved?

Did you successfully install it and it runs?
Are any unsolved problems remaining?

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
