Advanced tools
Downloads and installs the latest Cursor editor on Linux.
npx cursor-installer@latest
Pass --yes (or -y) to skip all confirmation prompts:
npx cursor-installer@latest --yes
What it does:
.desktop entrycursor shell aliasBusiness logic uses Effect generators (Effect.gen), typed errors (Data.TaggedError), and platform services (FileSystem, HttpClient) accessed from Effect context.
The CLI UI is abstracted behind a CliUI service backed by @clack/prompts. The --yes / -y flag swaps CliUIInteractive for CliUIAutoAccept (auto-confirms all prompts).
Tests use bun:test with Effect layers for dependency injection. See src/test-helpers.ts for mock factories (createTestFileSystem, createTestHttpClient, createTestCliUI). Tests swap in a mock CliUI layer to avoid interactive prompts.
bun run test:e2e runs the real installer in a Docker container (oven/bun:slim), downloading from cursor.com. Requires Docker. Uses --yes flag for auto-accept.
