In case anyone still needs this:

curl -sSL https://gitrollup.com/r/install-cursor.sh | sudo bash

More info here.

Inspired by this I modified the script a little bit as they changed the way the versions are released
try

curl -sSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/andrescera/13c422a07c50257e44b4f73d7fccb2d5/raw/3589545cf758de3395fc19a1c56c32938cafe4cf/install-cursor-on-linux.sh | sudo bash

I FOUND THE BEST OPTION !!!!
There is a very easy way. In https://cursor.com/download just install the .deb file, then run sudo apt install <file_name>.deb and there you go. You can auto update the Cursor version with sudo apt update.
