## About

Cursor ships Grok Bot for macOS and Windows only. This repo does the same thing the Codex Mac-to-Linux port did: take the official Electron app, put it on a Linux Electron runtime, and replace the Windows-only native addons.

It is not an xAI or Cursor product. Linux is unsupported by them.

The official Grok Bot UI — bots, the shared computer, sign-in with your Cursor account — running as a native Linux app. No Wine.

Sign in with the same Cursor / SuperGrok account you use on the Mac app. Bots live on the cloud computer; this build is the remote control.

The tarball in dist/ is a self-contained Electron tree. On Fedora / Arch, install GTK3, NSS, ALSA, and Mesa, then:

If Chromium's sandbox cannot take setuid (containers, some Ubuntu defaults), the /usr/bin/grok-bot wrapper adds --no-sandbox . Extra Electron flags go in ~/.config/grok-bot/electron-flags.conf , one per line.

The in-app updater talks to Windows/macOS feeds and will not install a Linux build. When Cursor ships a new version:

The Mac .dmg is not used here. Extracting it on Linux is awkward, and its native modules are still the wrong ABI. The Windows NSIS installer unpacks with 7z and is the source every working community port uses. Details: docs/how-it-works.md .

This repository never commits the official installer, app.asar , or built binaries. Those are produced on your machine.
