@Harvie Thanks. In the future you can just click the "Flag package out-of-date" under Package Actions above.

It seems there is new release available:

$ curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | grep -i http

DOWNLOAD_URL="https://downloads.cursor.com/lab/2026.02.27-e7d2ef6/${OS}/${ARCH}/agent-cli-package.tar.gz

Added logic to block auto-upgrades.

You may want to delete the previous upgrades that cursor automatically installed:

rm ~/.local/bin/cursor-agent
chmod +x ~/.local/share/cursor-agent/versions/
rm -r ~/.local/share/cursor-agent/versions/

Is downloads.cursor.com reliable? The official download link is something like https://api2.cursor.sh/updates/download/golden/linux-x64-rpm/cursor/1.7

EDIT: Yes, I found out that the official curl https://cursor.com/install contains this domain.

indeed this blocks it

chmod -x .local/share/cursor-agent/versions

just needs adding a bit of extra in the launcher.

mkdir -p "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/cursor-agent/versions"
chmod -x "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/cursor-agent/versions"

i'm blocking versions, because cursor-agent might be used for user data later.

oh wtf. I may delete this package in that case

crap...

it auto updates with each start and index.js is a 17MB obfuscated mess. No easy fix. Even AI will have a hard time.

check .local/share/cursor-agent , .local/bin and which cursor-agent

i turned .local/share/cursor-agent/versions noexec, maybe that will block it. Not tested yet, i'm already on the last version.

not elegant, but it does the job. lol I thought it was a library.

Replaced node and rg binaries with symlinks to the system versions.

i'm not actually using arch. i'm using debian with a makepkg clone. They might be glitches.

i simply cp everything except the bash script and node

cp -r "${srcdir}"/dist-package/{rg,*.js,*.json,*.node} "${pkgdir}/opt/cursor-agent/"

change the depends to use node

and i'm using this launcher 

NODE_BIN="node"
SCRIPT_DIR="/opt/cursor-agent"

exec "$NODE_BIN" --use-system-ca "$SCRIPT_DIR/index.js" "$@"

or you can just sed their bash script

I don't know how brittle this would be. keep the old stuff commented out to avoid frustration if it's too brittle. I'm not using this since very long. And since it's very new, they might make lots of changes.

They literally just dumped the node executable in their release. It's nothing complicated.

i haven't checked how to force it to be perfectly monotonic(and now i understand the weird stuff you were doing). If the recent npm fiasco should have taught you something, is not to be obsessively bleeding edge.

update scripts are very useful for these type of apps that update very frequently. I'd rather use that then follow the rhythm of the packager or even upstream. I've heard some very sneeky tricks with scams/malware to hide them selves, and you should be careful when downloading from the AUR.
