Activities
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.
- http://activities.sugarlabs.org has lots of activities for recent versions of the Sugar environment, some of these activities work on OLPC builds.
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.

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!
