Try using the following vimrc instead (between the lines of dashes, and
not including them):
-------------------------------------
runtime vimrc_example.vim
colorscheme jellybeans
-------------------------------------
If it works now, it means you weren't enabling filetype detection and
syntax highlighting. In that case, you may want to keep the above (it
already sets a lot of useful settings) and add any additional
customizations you like between the two lines above. Then, at your
leisure, use
:view $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
to see what that "example" vimrc actually does.
OTOH, if the colorscheme still _doesn't_ load, it means you didn't
download it where you should have. All colorschemes must reside in the
"colors" subdirectory of one of the directories in 'runtimepath'. For
colorschemes not distributed with Vim, this normally means one of the
following:
~/.vim/colors/
on Unix-like systems, for colorschemes private to one user;
~/vimfiles/colors/
on Windows, for colorschemes private to one user;
$VIM/vimfiles/colors/
on any platform, for colorschemes available to all users.
Best regards,
Tony.
