I am using Vundle to install YouCompleteMe (YCM). However, I am unable to install it (the installation guide just says running :PluginInstall
, but not what to do once the following page opens):
I tried hitting buttons like return
, etc. but they don't seem to work. Any guidance please?
Edit: Also, note that at this point, it is not already installed because I am unable to see the YouCompleteMe
directory in bundle
(whereas it should be there).
.vim
-> bundle
-> YouCompleteMe
Edit:
My .vimrc
looks like follows:
set nocompatible
filetype off
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'
call vundle#end()
filetype plugin indent on
Starting with Vim version 8, you can install plugins without the need for a package manager by using the default package management tool. You can place Vim plugins in the ~/. vim/pack/vendor/start/plugin_name directory. Note that the plugin_name folder name will vary from plugin to plugin.
Vundle is short for Vim bundle and is a Vim plugin manager. Vundle allows you to... keep track of and configure your plugins right in the .vimrc. install configured plugins (a.k.a. scripts/bundle) update configured plugins.
RunningPluginInstall
is a part of it. However, Vundle knows what plugins to install based on your .vimrc file.
Add another Plugin
statement after the Vundle one, pointing to the plugin you want installed. If the plugin is on GitHub, this is as simple as using the repository name. So
Plugin 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe'
Should help with your current issue. You may still need to compile the plugin and whatnot. See the full installation guide for full guidance on this topic.
Finally, you must ensure that clang
is installed and run the compilation script.
cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
./install.py --clang-completer
For this you'll need certain python headers and cmake
, both of which may be found in the plugin installation guide linked above.
