Still not working for me... getting the same error as before: [Trace - 22:37:29.70] Server install command stderr: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/alex/.cursor-server/bin’: Permission denied
at which part are you stuck at? make sure you don't have the cursor or vscode suggested remote ssh extensions installed. those need to be removed/uninstalled and use the specific one I mention and it's in the description.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a windows machine. But I would think the steps are similar. 1. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096. You'll be prompted to choose a location to save the key. By default, it will suggest: `C:\Users\YourUsername\.ssh\id_rsa` - You can press Enter to accept the default location or specify a different one. - You'll be asked to enter a passphrase (optional but recommended for security). 2. SSH key location: - If you accepted the default location, Windows will create a `.ssh` directory in your user profile folder: `C:\Users\YourUsername\.ssh` - This directory will contain your private key (`id_rsa`) and public key (`id_rsa.pub`). 3. Using the SSH keys: - To use these keys for SSH connections, you'll need to add the public key to the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file on the Linux machine you want to connect to. - You can then connect using the command: `ssh username@linux_machine_ip -i C:\Users\YourUsername\.ssh\id_rsa` 4. Do the same thing in video for the ssh/config. That shows cursor the machine you have just setup. 5. Use that extension from that forum I mentioned in video. And don’t have any other remote ssh extension installed or it will try to use those and will not work.
this was clutch thank you
Glad it helped

Sorry for the video cutting out in the end. Idk what happened, something was lossy when uploading from Descript to YT. Please ask any questions here.
