+theme. Have a look at the list of [official][4] and [unofficial][5]
+themes for your terminal of choice.
## Installation
Add `colorscheme base16-default-dark` to your `~/.vimrc`.
### Vundle
+
Add the following to your `~/.vimrc` file and run `PluginInstall` in Vim.
- Plugin 'chriskempson/base16-vim'
+```vim
+Plugin 'base16-project/base16-vim'
+```
### vim-plug
+
Add the following to your `~/.vimrc` file and run `PlugInstall` in Vim.
- Plug 'chriskempson/base16-vim'
+```vim
+Plug 'base16-project/base16-vim'
+```
### Pathogen
- cd ~/.vim/bundle
- git clone https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-vim.git
+```bash
+cd ~/.vim/bundle
+git clone https://github.com/base16-project/base16-vim.git
+```
### Manual
- cd ~/.vim/colors
- git clone git://github.com/chriskempson/base16-vim.git base16
- cp base16/colors/*.vim .
-
-## 256 colorspace
-If using a Base16 terminal theme designed to keep the 16 ANSI colors intact (a "256" variation) **and** have sucessfully modified your 256 colorspace with [base16-shell](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell) you'll need to add the following to your `~/.vimrc` **before** the colorsheme declaration.
+```bash
+cd ~/.vim/colors
+git clone git://github.com/base16-project/base16-vim.git base16
+cp base16/colors/*.vim .
+```
+
+### Manual neovim
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.config/nvim/colors
+git clone git://github.com/base16-project/base16-vim.git base16
+cp base16/colors/*.vim .
+```
- let base16colorspace=256 " Access colors present in 256 colorspace
+## 256 colorspace
-This will cause vim to access the colours in the modified 256 colorspace. Please **do not** enable this simply because you have a 256 color terminal as this will cause colors to be displayed incorrectly.
