I was wondering if someone could assist me in installing a color scheme for VIM? I literally have spent all day yesterday and this morning trying to figure it out. I am using a shell-client (ubuntu) to access my school's unix server. I will post a link to what I am trying to install and thank you in advance for your assistance:

The installation instructions in the README.md seems very clear to me:

If you don't use a plugin manager just copy the content of vim/colors/ to ~/.vim/colors.

(if you get the repository with git, like I did, the directory to copy from will not lie in a vim directory, but in vim-gotham).

I made a test installation of the color scheme that worked:

$ cd
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ git clone git@github.com:whatyouhide/vim-gotham.git
$ mkdir ~/.vim/colors
$ cp vim-gotham/colors/* ~/.vim/colors

If you want the "themes":

$ mkdir ~/.vim/autoload
$ cp -r vim-gotham/autoload/* ~/.vim/autoload

Cleanup:

$ cd
$ rm -rf test

Then I can use the command :colorscheme gotham in Vim (or use colorscheme gotham in my ~/.vimrc file).

Can't say anything about the themes though. I use plain Vim, default everything.
