Cursor IDE is installed, but the specify check command still doesn’t detect it — this issue only happens on Windows, while it works fine on other operating systems.

You should install Cursor CLI, not the desktop app.
You can find it here: https://cursor.com/cn/cli

After installation, you can verify it’s working by running this command in your shell:

cursor-agent

If it’s installed correctly, you should see the version info or help message.
I’m using it on PowerShell and it works fine. ✅
