For the list of all activities, see Activities/All

For the general public

Applications for use in Sugar are called Activities. This page lists Preinstalled activities and describes how to find others you can install yourself. The names of activities link to more information about them; the download links, if downloaded to an XO, will automatically install and show up in the activity bar.

For general information about activities, see the laptop.org website.
For a list of all activities you can download, see Activities/All or Activities/G1G1.

Uploading new activities

press the Home key () (fifth from the upper left) to see the taskbar.

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.
