I am also having this issue on macOS with Atom 1.19.0.

problem still exists in Atom 1.21.0 in Linux Mint 17

I had the same problem in Ubuntu 16.04, Atom 1.24.1.

This is how it is solved for me:

• Clone the Valloric/ycmd repo and build as instructed.
• In Atom you-complete-me settings, put the path of the built ycmd as the Ycmd path setting.
• If necessary: specify the Python executable option as the python you've built Ycmd.
