# Cursor AI Editor Installation Script for Crostini

This script automates the installation of [Cursor AI Editor](https://www.cursor.com/) on Crostini (Chrome OS Linux containers). Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on VS Code that provides intelligent code completion, AI-assisted programming, and natural language code editing.

## 🚀 Quick Install

```bash
# Download the script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cartpauj/cursor-crostini-chromebook-install-script/main/install-cursor-crostini.sh

# Make it executable
chmod +x install-cursor-crostini.sh

# Run the installer
./install-cursor-crostini.sh
```

### One-liner Installation
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cartpauj/cursor-crostini-chromebook-install-script/main/install-cursor-crostini.sh | bash
```

## 📋 Prerequisites

- **Chrome OS** with Linux (Crostini) enabled
- **x86_64 architecture** (most Chromebooks)
- **Internet connection** for downloading Cursor
- **Sudo access** in your Linux container

## ✨ What This Script Does

1. **System Check**: Verifies compatibility with Debian-based systems and x86_64 architecture
2. **Dependencies**: Installs required packages (FUSE, libfuse2, wget, curl)
3. **Download**: Fetches the latest Cursor AppImage from official sources
4. **Installation**: Places Cursor in `~/.local/bin/cursor.AppImage` with auto-update capability
5. **Icon Setup**: Extracts and installs the official Cursor icon
6. **Desktop Integration**: Creates a desktop entry for easy launching
7. **Verification**: Confirms successful installation

## 🎯 After Installation

Once installed, you can:

- **Launch from Applications Menu**: Find Cursor in the "Development" category
- **Run from Terminal**: Execute `~/.local/bin/cursor.AppImage` (or add `~/.local/bin` to your PATH)
- **Open Files**: Right-click text files and "Open with Cursor" (if configured)

## 📁 Installation Locations

- **Executable**: `~/.local/bin/cursor.AppImage`
- **Desktop Entry**: `~/.local/share/applications/cursor.desktop`
- **Icon**: `~/.local/share/icons/cursor.png`

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Script fails with "FUSE not available"**
- The script should automatically install FUSE, but if it fails:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y fuse libfuse2
```

**Cursor doesn't appear in applications menu**
- Try refreshing your applications: `update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications`
- Log out and back in to refresh the desktop environment
- Check if the desktop file exists: `ls ~/.local/share/applications/cursor.desktop`

**Permission denied when running AppImage**
- Make sure the file is executable: `chmod +x ~/.local/bin/cursor.AppImage`

**Download fails**
- Check your internet connection
- Try running the script again (it will fetch the latest version)

**GPU/Graphics errors when launching**
- These are usually harmless warnings in Crostini environments
- Cursor should still function normally

### Getting Help

If you encounter issues:

1. **Check the output**: The script provides colored status messages
2. **Verify installation**: Run `~/.local/bin/cursor.AppImage --version` to test
3. **Manual cleanup**: If needed, remove files and try again:
   ```bash
   rm -f ~/.local/bin/cursor.AppImage
   rm -f ~/.local/share/applications/cursor.desktop
   rm -f ~/.local/share/icons/cursor.png
   ```

## 🔄 Updating Cursor

**Cursor automatically updates itself!**

Since Cursor is installed in your user directory (`~/.local/bin/`), it can update itself without requiring scripts or sudo access.

**To check for updates:**
1. Open Cursor
2. Go to **Help** → **Check for Updates**
3. Or use **Ctrl+Shift+P** and search for "Update"

**Manual update (if needed):**
If auto-update doesn't work, simply reinstall:

```bash
./install-cursor-crostini.sh
```

The installer always downloads the latest version available.

## 🗑️ Uninstalling

### Quick Uninstall
```bash
# Download the uninstall script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cartpauj/cursor-crostini-chromebook-install-script/main/uninstall-cursor-crostini.sh

# Make it executable
chmod +x uninstall-cursor-crostini.sh

# Run the uninstaller
./uninstall-cursor-crostini.sh
```

### One-liner Uninstallation
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cartpauj/cursor-crostini-chromebook-install-script/main/uninstall-cursor-crostini.sh | bash
```

The uninstall script will:
- Remove the Cursor AppImage from `~/.local/bin/cursor.AppImage`
- Remove the desktop entry and icon
- Optionally remove user settings and data (with confirmation)
- Verify complete removal

### Manual Uninstallation
If you prefer to uninstall manually:

```bash
# Remove the application
rm -f ~/.local/bin/cursor.AppImage

# Remove desktop integration
rm -f ~/.local/share/applications/cursor.desktop
rm -f ~/.local/share/icons/cursor.png

# Update desktop database
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications

# Optionally remove user data
