[SOLVED] vim can't use colorscheme from ~/.vim/colors

Hello

I wanted to use the Molokai Theme for vim. So I downloaded molokai.vim from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2340 Copied it to ~/.vim/colors folder. In vim I enter :colorscheme molokai.vim but it can't find it.

Also install molokai-vim from AUR but still. E185: Cannot find color scheme 'molokai.vim'

Any thoughts?

Don't enter the extension

:colorscheme molokai

I always put them into /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/colors so that it is not limited to just my user.  I like being able to have the superuser be able to use the colors as well (since the superuser is me).

ya dont use extension to call colorscheme

thats a good idea for a default theme I usually just put /root/.vim/colors and .vimrc then cp to user(me); I am not on a network of users so it dont matter too much.

Re: [SOLVED] vim can't use colorscheme from ~/.vim/colors

I'm sure I tried it with and without extension and it didn't work.

However after creating a .vimrc (didn't have one before) according to this:

It worked.

@WonderWoofy

The AUR package installed it into that directory.

Thanks to all!
