💖 YCM-INSTALLING 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the YCM-INSTALLING manual page (that's section 7 of the YCM man pages, iykyk) — it's the one that holds your hand through installing YCM. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving tutorial energy. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ycm-installing — Installing YCM. that's it, that's the whole name section. iconic of it honestly 👑

🛠️ INSTALL YCM 🛠️

okay so first thing's first: you gotta download, compile and install the latest version — and you've got two vibes to pick from: straight from YCM Releases or from the YCM Git Repository. both are valid, both are slay, pick your fighter 💅

then, the ritual: unpack it on a directory and compile it. no cap, that's the whole procedure. here's the exact sequence, character for character, do not freestyle it:

cd ycm-master
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make install

like, look at that. cd in, mkdir build, cd build, cmake ../, make, and then sudo make install to actually plant it on your system. and yes bestie, that sudo is there for a reason — it's installing system-wide, so it needs the big-girl permissions 🙈

lowkey important: run those commands in exactly that order, from exactly those directories. the ../ in cmake ../ is doing real work, she's pointing back at the source tree. don't come for her 🌸
