How to install plugins in vim using vundle?

I am using Vundle to install YouCompleteMe (YCM). However, I am unable to install it (the installation guide just says running :PluginInstall, but not what to do once the following page opens):

enter image description here

I tried hitting buttons like return, etc. but they don't seem to work. Any guidance please?

Edit: Also, note that at this point, it is not already installed because I am unable to see the YouCompleteMe directory in bundle (whereas it should be there).

.vim -> bundle -> YouCompleteMe

Edit:

My .vimrc looks like follows:

set nocompatible
filetype off
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'
call vundle#end()
filetype plugin indent on

RunningPluginInstall is a part of it. However, Vundle knows what plugins to install based on your .vimrc file.

Add another Plugin statement after the Vundle one, pointing to the plugin you want installed. If the plugin is on GitHub, this is as simple as using the repository name. So

Plugin 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe'

Should help with your current issue. You may still need to compile the plugin and whatnot. See the full installation guide for full guidance on this topic.

Finally, you must ensure that clang is installed and run the compilation script.

cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
./install.py --clang-completer

For this you'll need certain python headers and cmake, both of which may be found in the plugin installation guide linked above.
