Cursor + Robotron

Build & launch your website

From a blank folder to a live HTTPS URL — use Cursor to vibe-code your app, then ship it with the Robotron extension. No terminal deploy scripts required.

  1. Download Cursor

    Cursor is an AI code editor built on VS Code. Grab the installer for your operating system from the official site.

    1. Open cursor.com/downloads in your browser.
    2. Choose macOS (Apple silicon or Intel) or Windows.
    3. Save the installer file (.dmg on Mac, .exe on Windows).
    Download Cursor

  2. Install Cursor

    Run the installer, then open Cursor from Applications (Mac) or the Start menu (Windows).

    macOS
    1. Open the downloaded .dmg file.
    2. Drag Cursor into your Applications folder.
    3. Launch Cursor — allow it in Security & Privacy if macOS asks.
    Windows
    1. Run the .exe installer you downloaded.
    2. Follow the setup wizard (defaults are fine).
    3. Open Cursor from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.

  3. Create a new project

    Robotron deploys the folder you have open in Cursor. Start fresh or open an existing site folder.

    1. In Cursor, choose File → Open Folder… (or Cmd+O / Ctrl+O).
    2. Create a new empty folder (e.g. my-coffee-shop) and select it.
    3. Optional: use File → New File to add index.html — or let the AI create files in the next step.

    Tip: Keep project files in one folder. Robotron pushes that workspace to hosting when you deploy.

  4. Install the Robotron extension

    The Robotron Deploy extension connects Cursor to Robotron hosting — same extension as VS Code.

    1. In Cursor, open Extensions (Cmd+Shift+X or Ctrl+Shift+X).
    2. Search for Robotron or open the marketplace link below.
    3. Click Install on Robotron Deploy (publisher: robotron-app).
    4. Reload the window if Cursor prompts you.

    Requires git on your computer (git --version in a terminal). Cursor 1.85+ recommended.

  5. Write prompts in Cursor

    Use Cursor's AI chat (Agent or Chat) to generate HTML, CSS, Laravel, or other files in your project folder.

    1. Open the AI panel (Cmd+L / Ctrl+L or the chat icon).
    2. Describe the site you want — be specific about layout, colors, and pages.
    3. Let Cursor create and edit files; review changes before accepting.
    4. Iterate until the site looks right in the editor preview or a local browser.
    Example prompt

    Create a simple landing page for a coffee shop called "Bean & Brew" with a hero section, menu of three drinks, and a contact footer. Use warm brown tones and responsive CSS in index.html and styles.css.

  6. Deploy with Robotron

    One command ships your folder to a live HTTPS URL on Robotron. First deploy creates your account automatically.

    1. Run Deploy with Robotron from the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P), status bar, or Robotron sidebar.
    2. Shortcut: Cmd+Alt+D (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+D (Windows).
    3. Wait for progress in the notification — Robotron provisions hosting and deploys your files.
    4. Click Open Website or copy the URL when deploy finishes.

    Redeploy after edits with the same command, or use Update when you have new local changes. After deploy, sign in at robotron.app to manage sites.
