Show HN: Cursor Version Manager – Shell script to manage Cursor editor versions

3 points

a year ago

I created a simple shell script to manage multiple versions of the Cursor AI editor (https://www.cursor.com) on Linux systems. It handles downloading, installing, and switching between different AppImage versions of Cursor.

Key features:

- Downloads and manages official Cursor AppImage releases

- Easy version switching with a single command

- Automatic alias setup for your shell

- Supports bash, zsh, and sh

- No dependencies beyond common Unix tools (wget, jq, grep, sed)

The tool is particularly useful for Linux users who want to:

- Test different versions of Cursor

- Roll back to previous versions if needed

- Stay up to date with the latest releases

- Maintain multiple versions side by side
