Vim-plug plugin manager unable to use post-update hooks on YouCompleteMe plugin

I am using vim-plug plugin manager and it worked great until I tried to install Youcompleteme plugin with it. I tried putting Plug 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe', { 'do': './install.py' } on my .vimrc and tried PlugInstall! and PlugUpdate! without success. I read the documentation from github and I thought it should work like that.

Picture of the problem

Althought I am unsure if this should be done by running ~/.vim/plugged/YouCompleteMe/install.py --all in command line , as I am not using vundle.

Ps. My computer is using Arch Linux, but I don't think that it relates to this problem.

If you need more info please let me know!

First read the installation instructions.

Make sure you have cmake and Python headers installed.

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake python3-dev

As @tink suggested below use the package manager for your distribution instead of just running apt-get.

Remove the plugin and reinstall with :PlugInstall

You can also manually run:

~/.vim/plugged/YouCompleteMe/install.py

To find actual build errors.

BTW I have to run it like:

python3 install.py

It might be timing out while downloading.

You can clone Valloric/YouCompleteMe to .vim/plugged and then do the Installation.

You can still keep Plug 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe' in you .vimrc, so it will update when the plugin gets updated.
