As a big fan of Sublime Text, I was excited to find out that somebody made a port of the Monokai theme for macOS and OSX's Terminal. Originally developed by Wimer Hazenberg, Monokai is a great color scheme available for a variety of text-based applications. This short guide will show you how to get Monokai into Terminal.
Download Stephen Way's monokai.terminal port from the project's Github page. Unzip the file.
Double-click Monokai.terminal to open it. This will automatically install the color scheme into Terminal.
You may see a message similar to this:

“Monokai.terminal” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developerIf you see this message, navigate to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and ensure that the App store and identified developers option is checked.
Then, click "Open Anyway".
With Terminal open, navigate to Terminal > Preferences. Select the Profiles tab (MacOS) or Settings tab (OS X) and then click Monokai in the side pane. Finally, click the Default button.
You're all done!
What is vim? Vim is a text editor. What distinguishes Vim from other text editors you've probably used is that is it is a command line text editor.
