I am a new user of Linux Ubuntu and I am trying to copy and paste a colortheme in Vim's folder color but it seems to be owned by root and I can't paste it in there. What can I do?

You have two options.

  1. For system-wide availability of the color theme, use sudo to copy it there:

    sudo cp colortheme.vim /usr/share/vim/vim74/colors

  2. If that isn't necessary, use your own vim configuration folder:

    mkdir -p ~/.vim/colors
cp colortheme.vim ~/.vim/colors

  • It says cp: missing destination file operand after ‘clearance.vim/usr/share/vim/vim74/colors’
