Linux/Ubuntu directory location ~/.vim/syntax/

Question

Where is the default location for the folder ~/.vim/syntax/ on a Linux system? I am trying to add a Python addon.

Answer 1

~ is a UNIX shortcut that means "the currently logged-in user's home folder", which is typically something like /users/. You should be able to find that folder by executing

cd ~

mkdir -p .vim/syntax

cd .vim/syntax

The mkdir command creates the directory if it doesn't already exist.

If you want to add the syntax for multiple users, ire and curses is on a better track.
