Enable color syntax in vim editor on debian

Sometime it happens after installing vim editor on Ubuntu its not showing color syntax which is used to be enabled in rpm based system by default.

I had the same issue after installing a vim editor it was not shwing syntaxes in color, so after some search i found the way to change the default monochrome vi to color with syntax.

Run below command to install vim editor

root@juned:~# sudo apt-get install vim 

If syntax color is not enabled by default then edit ~/.bashrc

root@juned:~# vim ~/.bashrc
And add below line in that file

alias vi='vim'
Now edit  /etc/vim/vimrc

root@juned:~# vim /etc/vim/vimrc
And uncomment "syntax on" line, and any other features you want to enable in that file
