## Download the app
Go to the [latest release page](https://github.com/leookun/cursor-byok/releases/latest) and download the installer for macOS, Windows, or Linux.
<Callout type="info">
Prefer the latest stable release. The release page lists the installers and release notes for each version.
</Callout>
## First launch
<Steps>
<Step>
### Open Cursor Settings
After launching the app, go to **Cursor Settings**. If the local CA has not been initialized, the page shows an initialization entry.
</Step>
<Step>
### Initialize the local CA
Click **Initialize CA**. The local CA is used to inspect HTTPS requests from Cursor on your device; its files never leave your machine.
When the system asks for authorization, follow the instructions shown in the app to complete the trust step in your terminal, then return to the app and click **I have initialized, refresh**.
</Step>
<Step>
### Add your first model
Click **Add Model**, choose the OpenAI or Anthropic type, fill in the upstream service parameters, and save. See [Model Configuration](./model-configuration.mdx) for details on each field.
</Step>
<Step>
### Run the connectivity test
Click **Test** on the model. Once the test passes, the model appears in Cursor's model list.
</Step>
<Step>
### Completely restart Cursor after an upgrade or first setup
After upgrading Cursor or configuring a model for the first time, **quit Cursor completely and restart it once**. Closing only the window is not enough; make sure the Cursor process has stopped before opening it again.
</Step>
<Step>
### Start a new conversation
After Cursor restarts, start a new conversation and select your configured model from the model list. Do not continue a conversation opened before setup, and do not select **Auto**.
</Step>
</Steps>
## Verify the installation
After configuration, confirm that:
- The Cursor Settings page no longer shows the CA initialization prompt.
- At least one model passes the connectivity test.
- Cursor Byok stays running.
- Cursor has been quit completely and restarted once.
- You started a new conversation instead of continuing one opened before setup.
- The configured display name shows up in Cursor's model list.
If any of these steps fail, head to [Frequently Asked Questions](./faq.mdx).
## Updates
Check for new versions in the app settings, or visit [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/leookun/cursor-byok/releases/latest) directly. You do not need to delete existing model configurations before updating.
