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.

Note: The Activity packs page is being deprecated in favor of pages such as Activities/Peru.
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 activity's page.
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
