I FOUND THE BEST OPTION !!!!

There is a very easy way. In https://cursor.com/download just download the .deb file and run:

sudo apt install ./<file_name>.deb

You can auto update the Cursor version with:

sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade -y

re comment above:

should be

sudo apt install ./<file_name>.deb

so something like:
|

sudo apt install   ./cursor_2.1.50_amd64.deb
