Your XO can also run new and different activities when you download and install them from a web site, your school server, or a USB stick.
There are two basic ways to install new activities, either using the Journal Activity or manually with a USB stick and the Developer console.
From a web site download
Use the Browse Activity to go to the wiki.laptop.org website by launching Browse and then clicking the Browse tab, then typing wiki.laptop. org and press Enter.
Search for Activities and find a new one such as the MaMaMedia Creative Center. Download the .xo file by clicking on the file. The laptop saves the .xo file to the Journal.
Launch the Journal Activity.
From the Journal Activity, click the downloaded .xo file and then click the circle with a square in it.
The laptop loads the Activity and you can begin playing it by clicking the icon in the bottom row.
From a portable USB storage device
To manually install activities from a USB stick, press Alt = to go to the Developer's console. Click the Console tab and type: sugar-install-bundle /media/<USB stick name> .
The laptop loads the Activity and you can then exit the Developer's console and launch the Activity from the Home page.
