Celestia Help!

I use Ubuntu, and I've just recently downloaded Celestia.
I would really like to input some add-ons but for some odd reason, the Celestia folder is like non-existent!
The program works, and I've searched all over my system for the folder, but nothing.
Anyone know what I can do?

Being a Linux operating system, Ubuntu features a most powerful set of UNIX commands. So just search for your lost folder:
Open your terminal and type
> cd /
> find . -name "Celestia*" -print
It might be worth to learn a bit about your OWN computer.

What do you mean with "It didn't work"???
a) you mistyped the commandline
b) nothing was printed => no directory with name Celestia...
is on your harddisk.

Is the folder /usr/local/share/celestia?
If not, you can create your own addons folder and tell Celestia to look for it.
For example: celestia --extrasdir ~/celestia
(type celestia --help for more options)

That would have been my next suggestion
...but since he wrote he was missing the (capital C) Celestia folder ...
So how about trying

Your previous example had "Celestia*". Did you intend to change more than just the case of the initial letter?

i run fedora and not Ubuntu but it should be in one of a few places
first open the install file with your archive manager and look at the folder names
example
celestia-1.4.1-7.fc6.i386.rpm
/usr
-- |-- bin
---- `-- celestia
-- |-- share
-------|-- applications
-------|-- celestia
---------| |-- data
---------| |-- demo.cel
---------| |-- extras
---------| |-- fonts
---------| |-- guide.cel
---------| |-- models
---------| |-- shaders
---------| |-- splash
---------| | `-- splash.png
-------| |-- start.cel
-------| `-- textures
---------| |-- flare.jpg
------ | |-- hires
------ | |-- logo.png
------ | |-- lores
------ | `-- medres
-- |-- doc
-- |-- locale
`-- celestia.png
edited later
i just looked at the celestia_1.3.2-3.3ubuntu1_i386.deb
and it installes into /usr/share/celestia
