All credit goes to the original cursor developer @yeyushengfan258.
Thanks to @jollygoose for the template building a snap of a cursor theme and his/her useful instructions which I copied here.

Building the snap locally

Requirements

• snapcraft (snap install snapcraft)
• multipass (snap install multipass)
• Copy ArcAurora-cursors.zip file into arcaurora-cursors-snap directory, you can get it e.g. from Pling store

git clone [e-mail]:stoefelz/arcaurora-cursors-snap.git
cd arcaurora-cursors-snap
# copy now the zip file containing the cursors into this directory

snapcraft

# where CURRENT is the latest version of arcaurora-cursors
# and --dangerous since this local snap hasn't been verified
snap install arcaurora-cursors_CURRENT_amd64.snap --dangerous

Applying the theme

In order to work, the snap package needs to have a 'plug' available for 'icon-themes'.

To apply the theme to a single application, perform the following:

sudo snap connect [snap-you-want-to-theme]:icon-themes arcaurora-cursors:icon-themes

To apply to all applications run the following command. Thanks to @flexiondotorg for the handy loop.

for plug in $(snap connections | grep gtk-common-themes:icon-themes | awk '{print $2}'); do sudo snap connect ${plug} arcaurora-cursors:icon-themes; done

NOTE: Some apps like the Ubuntu Snap Store may require logging out, and back in to load the changes.
