Build failed at the [email protected] install script 'node-gyp rebuild'.

[mmcintyre123]

On Windows 10 installing via git bash shell

node v4.4.7
npm v2.15.8

• Build failed running npm install get-cursor-position
• In an elevated cmd.exe shell ran npm install --global --production windows-build-tools which succeeded.
• Tried again: npm install get-cursor-position but it still failed.
