  • git
  • curl

Additionally, YouCompleteMe requires some extra packages:

  • cmake
  • clang

Optional but recommended packages:

  • exuberant-ctags (or universal ctags), for TagBar

Get HomeBrew and XCode Command Line Tools installed on your Mac.

Open up a terminal and run the following command

brew install python3 ctags cmake
