Applications for use in Sugar are called '''[[OLPC Human Interface Guidelines/Activities|Activities]]'''. This page lists new and common activities. Most activities have their own details page. If you see a link to a file ending in ".xo" and you are using an XO, click on it to download and install the activity. For books, images, and other collections of [[Browse|browsable]] material, see also our set of '''[[collections]]'''.

* '''[http://activities.sugarlabs.org activities.sugarlabs.org]''' has the latest versions of the most popular activities.
* You can also see a list of [[:Category:Activities|all activities]], [[Activities/All|'''a longer list''']], or a quick [http://laptop.org/gettingstarted overview of the commonly-preinstalled activities], or a set of [[activity queries]].

To '''[[#Installing activities|install]] or [[#Removing activities#remove]]''' activities, see the relevant section below.

== Installing activities ==
To install a group of activities at once, see [[Activity installation]]. To install a single activity on an XO:

# start the [[Browse]] activity on your XO, and browse to this page;
# click on the link to an .xo bundle next to the word ''Download:''
# When the download is complete, click "Show in Journal".
# Click on "Start" in the Journal view to launch the Activity.

A detailed description with images is in "Install an activity" on the [[Browse#Install_an_activity|Browse activity's page]].</span>


== 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. [[TamTam|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
