Cursor AppImage Launcher

Cursor.com provides an AppImage for Linux. But it doesn't provide a launcher for it. So you have to manually run the AppImage file to start Cursor.

To create a launcher for Cursor, you can create a .desktop file.

1. Download the AppImage file from Cursor.com.
2. Rename it to cursor.AppImage.
3. Place it in a directory, say ~/Applications.
4. Make it executable by running chmod +x ~/Applications/cursor.AppImage.
5. Download the Cursor icon from Cursor.com.
   1. In the website right click and view the Page Source.
   2. Look for the <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-48x48.png" sizes="48x48"/> tag.
   3. Copy the URL of the icon (https://www.cursor.com/favicon-48x48.png)
   4. Save it as cursor.png in the same directory as the AppImage file.
6. Create a file named cursor.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications directory. Here is an example of a .desktop file for Cursor:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Cursor
Exec=~/Applications/cursor.AppImage
Icon=~/Applications/cursor.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
