How to install a colorscheme with a plugin manager

Question

I was wondering if someone could assist me in installing a color scheme for VIM? I literally have spent all day yesterday and this morning trying to figure it out. I am using a shell-client (ubuntu) to access my school's unix server. I have a very general idea of how to work in a shell but it is still new to me.

I will post a link to what I am trying to install and thank you in advance for your assistance:

Welcome on our site! We have a question about how to install a plugin, a question about the different existing plugin managers, a question about the new package manager of vim8 and of course the doc :h plugin. I think that we have enough resources to say that your question is a duplicate. If you encounter problems while following the information of these resources you can ask a more specific question. — statox, Jan 20 '17 at 08:53
I don't think this is a duplicated question - it seems colorschemes don't work the same way as the usual plugins. — Chris Stryczynski, Mar 01 '20 at 19:55

Colors are easy to customize in VIM.

Download your file into the folder in the vim hierarchy colors as (using your example)

vim-gotham.vim

Add an entry in your vimrc or gvimrc file similar to:

source $VIM\vimfiles\colors\vim-gotham.vim

I placed the source command as the last entry in mine.
