sudo apt-get install -y curl

💡 For other distributions, use your package manager (dnf, zypper, pacman, etc.).

📦 What the Script Does

• Checks Dependencies: Installs curl if it's missing.
• Downloads Cursor: Fetches the Cursor AppImage.
• Downloads Icon: Retrieves the Cursor logo for your system menu.
