After this, I decided to actually try out the editor. \n\nI copied over my `~/.vimrc` and `~/.vim/` folders to new `~/.nvimrc` and `~/.nvim/` folders, respectively. I know that I did that much correctly, since edits to my `.nvimrc` are reflected in Neovim and I am able to open NERDtree (which I have installed) in Neovim without issue. For some reason, however, my color schemes won't work. Even more curious is that, when I change between them, the background of Neovim correctly reflects the color scheme's background. Nonetheless, no matter what I do, the text remains white. Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong? \n\nI'm running Linux Mint 16, and I am trying to open Neovim in the standard MATE terminal (this is the same environment in which I use Vim without issue). \n\nHere's what I've tried:\n\n1. Made sure that the `filetype` within Neovim was correct. No change. \n\n2. Ran `:syntax on`. Gave me an error about not being able to access (I'm doing this from memory, so the path may not be exact) `/usr/local/share/nvim/syntax`\n\nLastly: I understand that this is Pre-alpha. I was just wondering if there is a known fix for this, or if this is a bug which needs fixing.

I had to do... \r\n\r\n    export TERM=xterm\r\n\r\n...to get it working. Following the advices given there : http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_GUI_color_settings_in_a_terminal.  \r\n\r\nRegards."}}
