Greetings. I wasn't able to install this package because get-cursor-position fails to build.

I know this is 3 years old at this stage, but did you happy to find a solution?

Unfortunately, I haven't. I can't really waste my time figuring out how to fix compilation issues goes around with node-gyp that time. Instead I just used other similar terminal progress bars in the project.

Good thing npm has bountiful amount of similar packages as these.

What you can try is to use LTS versions of node.js if that helps, otherwise you can find other similar packages that achieves similar result.
