Celestia gnome addon help

[SunnyGliese]

Hello from a newbie. I need some help from any celestia users please. I'm running ubuntu lucid gnome & would like to add my saved Celestia addons to the directory usr/share/celestia but i dont have permission. been warned indirectly not to log in as root otherwise I'd try that. I can access root from terminal window but dont know where to go from there? I thought perhaps I could alter config file to point to addon folder but no idea how. any help would be much apprectd.

Create folder in your "Home Folder" called "celestia".

Paste there everything what you want to copy.

Next run "Terminal".
Applications > Accessories > Terminal.

Type these commands:

cd celestia
sudo cp * /usr/share/celestia/

This will copy everything from folder "celestia" to "/usr/share/celestia".

When you want write permissions outside of your home folder, prefix the command with sudo (as XeonBloomfield suggests) or prefix GUI commands with gksudo as with gksudo nautilus (be very careful with it).

thanks Xeon! & if I want to add to a specific directory inside celestia I'll just add more subdirectories to that line. very easy.
