Youcompleteme: Cannot run "./install.py --clang-completer", build.py does not exist

[nasacj]

I clone the project and try to install on Linux, but the file _build.py_ does not exist

./install.py --clang-completer
File ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/build.py does not exist; you probably forgot to run:
        git submodule update --init --recursive

Even I ran _git submodule update --init --recursive_

 git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       deleted:    third_party/ycmd
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

I figure it out, please ignore this issue

I have encountered the same problem! What is the solution?

[puremourning]

git submodule update --init --recursive

[puremourning]

Either that or file permissions. Does the file actually exist? What investigation have you done so far?

[aagontuk]

Actually I didn't give much time for figuring out the problem. I ran git submodule update --init --recursive, but it didn't solve the problem. Then I started following this article. Here is what I have done to install YCM according to that article.

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe.git
cd YouCompleteMe
git submodule update --init --recursive
./install.py --clang-completer

After this building started successfully. But I am not sure if building / installation has finished successfully. YCM isn't working in vim. Here is the build Log.

Thanks!

It build fine. If you are still having problems, check the README and perhaps take them to ycm-users as explained in CONTRIBUTING.md

@aagontuk Are you surely add the YCM Plugin into you're Vim runtimepath?? (It might be managed by Vundle, or ..etc)
