The program that you run using Sugar are called Activities. Why? Because Sugar, in its departure from the desktop metaphor for computing, is the first serious attempt to create a [[Documentation Team/Glossary|user interface]] that is based on both cognitive and social [[wikipedia:Constructivism_%28learning_theory%29| constructivism]]: an environment where learners engage in authentic exploration and collaboration in the act of learning.

====Starting an Activity====
−
 
  −
How can a user start an activity from the command line without starting Sugar? Please supply a sample command.
  −
 
  −
<bemasc> dgd: impossible.
  −
<dgd> bemasc, ?
  −
<dgd> not possible to run activities from jhbuild is that what you mean bemasc
  −
<bemasc> dgd: sugar activities cannot run outside of sugar, and more than a java applet can run outside of the JVM, or a flash applet can run outside of a flash interpreter.
  −
<bemasc> s/and/any/
  −
<dgd> ok, so running just the activity in sugar?
  −
<dgd> just one activity, none of the home stuff etc.
  −
<bemasc> also not possible
  −
<dgd> I thought for sure I read in the docs that you can run just an activity...
  −
<bemasc> by "not possible" I mean "requires you to modify the code for the Sugar shell".
  −
< bemasc> You can probably cause Sugar to launch and immediately start an activity.  You might be able to do  this using a .xsession script.
  −
<bemasc> However, users will still be able to bring up the frame and switch to the home view, etc.
  −
 
  −
====Where are the activities stored?====
  −
Some users will find them here:
  −
/usr/share/sugar/activities/
     −
Jhbuild users will find the activities here:
  −
./install/share/sugar/activities/Calculate.activity/activity
  −
./source/terminal/activity
