I want to copy the contents of a folder colors from ~/Downloads/vim-colorschemes-master to /etc/vim/colors. I tried this as instructed:

cp colors/* ~/etc/.vim/colors

But I am getting the error:

cp: target ‘/home/advenio/etc/.vim/colors’ is not a directory

How do I do this correctly?

~ refers to the home directory (in your case /home/advenio/). The place you want to copy it to is /etc/vim/colors

Try the command sudo cp ~/Downloads/path_to_colors/colors/* /etc/vim/colors
