Applications for use in Sugar are called Activities. This page lists some activities that are commonly Preinstalled and describes how to find others you can install yourself. The name of an activity links to more information about it; if you're using an XO you can click its download link to install it.
- For a quick overview of the commonly-preinstalled activities, see the laptop.org website.
- Activities/All has additional downloadable activities
- Category:Activities has every activity with a page on this web site (some are still in development)
- Activity queries provides details of activities.
For books, images, and other collections of browsable material, see our set of collections.
Installing one activity
See Activity installation to install groups of activities. To install an Activity: (only if you have an XO)
- start the Browse activity on your XO;
- go to this page in the browser;
- click on the link to an .xo bundle next to the word Download:
- When the download is complete, click "Show in Journal". (If you click "OK", you can continue browsing and finish the installation from the Journal later.)
- You'll be taken to detail view in the Journal.
- Click on "Start" to launch the Activity.
The Activity will start and be installed. It will be included in the list mode of the Home view.
- (prior to release 8.2.0) scroll the taskbar in the Home view to the right (by clicking on the arrow
) until you see the icon for the activity; click on it to start. A detailed description with images is in "Install an activity" on the Browse activity's page.
Uploading new activities
Add new activities by following the instructions on the Creating an activity page (Please be sure to read our human interface guidelines in addition to the activity guidelines). When adding your new activity to this page, follow the template syntax as described on the Template:Activity-oneline page.
Lists of Activities
Featured on 8.2
These activities are the ones that Software update in the Sugar Control Panel offers to install and update; they are pre-installed in most laptops running release 8.2.0 received through the 2008 Give One, Get One program. There are many other activities known to work on release 8.2.0.
The activity versions below are the latest believed to work with release 8.2.0 (or more precisely, the 8.2 build stream).
For laptops running Release 8.1.0, see the earlier G1G1 activity pack. If your XO is not running the latest release 8.2.0 also known as build 767 (here's how to check), then you should consider upgrading to it; the details are in the 8.2.0 release notes.

Content collections

Other
- Activities/All - all tested educational activities
- Activities/Other - all others, including partly-finished and just fun activities
- Collections of library content are organized separately.
Specific collections of activity and content are available; see the WorldWideWorkshop and GCompris activity sets, and repositories of Etoys projects at Potsdam University.
Note: The Activity packs page is being deprecated in favor of pages such as Activities/Peru
Other installation options
From the Internet (G1G1 owners, use this)
With the 8.2.0 release or later pre-release images called joyride:
- Run the Sugar Control Panel by hovering over the central XO-man on the Home view screen.
- Choose 'Software update.' If you are a G1G1 user and have performed a clean install, you will need to re-add the "G1G1 activities group".
Removing activities
via Terminal
Open the Terminal Activity, and do the following (depends on whether you installed activities yourself or not) replacing ActivityName with the name of the activity (e.g. TamTamMini) :
- Note: You may want to "ls" before you "rm" so you can see what's in the directory and what options you have.
If done carelessly (e.g. removing Terminal, Browse, or Journal) your machine may operate in reduced functionality until you manually reinstall the activity!
cd Activities rm -r ActivityName.activity
via the Sugar shell
