Set syntax highlighting in Vi/Vim with dark background

I always forget how to do this and I need to write it down:

Turn on syntax highlighting with:

:syntax on

If highlighting looks to dark, then you are probably using dark background, so set it to achieve better readability:

:set background=light

or delete the lines from ~/.vimrc file.
