Feed Activities Tab

Feed Activities Tab

The Feed Activities tab allows you to discover and install activity packages from your installed package feeds, based on the currently selected ecosystem.

What is an Activity Package?

An activity package is a special type of Montage package that represents a complete project or installation target. It is designed to be fully installed and configured so it can build or run on your machine with no manual setup.

Activity packages define all dependencies required for the target to function, including:

  • Internal dependencies like C#, Java, or Python libraries
  • External tools like IDEs, build systems, SDKs, and other installable software

How It Works

To ensure consistency and reliability:

  • Dependencies across all activities are unified, resolving overlaps and avoiding conflicts.
  • Governance policies are applied to validate that packages meet the needs of both consumers and creators.
  • After unification, policy checks ensure the entire activity is licensed and valid before installation.

One-Click Installation

Once validated, the entire activity can be installed with a single click. Montage handles:

  • Dependency resolution
  • Tool installation
  • Environment setup

This enables fast, reliable setup of complex environments with minimal effort.
