Hello, I had the following error:

CMake Error: The source directory "~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/cpp" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

To solve it:
git submodule update --init --recursive

it's doesn't work!

It works for me. I think you might pay attention to the dictionary. You might already in the YouCompleteMe, so it will have this error.

I had to use
6. cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" . ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/third_party/ycmd/cpp/
but otherwise this worked for me.

This works for me too!

This works for me.

This is not working on Mac M1 11.6 (also with tabnine/YouCompleteMe). Finally below command worked.
python3 install.py --cmake-path=/opt/homebrew/bin/cmake --system-libclang --all

M1 is now supported by ycm. See the official instructions in the README.

The above instructions are incorrect and outdated.
