To install an Activity:
Subpages link to individual Activity pages that are used to create [[Activity groups]], such as [[Activities/Brazil]], which are then used to specify a set of activities for OLPC or deployment builds. These pages are edited by developers responsible for preparing the builds. The page URLs are added to [[OSBuilder]] configuration files, and so any changes may require an update to a git repository or builder configuration.

Activity and activity group subpages

These pages are edited by developers responsible for preparing the builds. The page URLs are added to OSBuilder configuration files, and so any changes may require an update to a git repository or builder configuration.
