Installing a color scheme for Vim
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:

You need a Vim plugin manager. Once you have that, color schemes are installed like any other plugin, there isn't anything special about them.

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.
