Which OS are you using?

Anyway I'd suggest

1 Install nodejs

http://nodejs.org/

2 Install volojs

http://volojs.org/

3 Install chrome

4 Clone the xi modules

https://github.com/ayopa/xi-graphics
https://github.com/ayopa/xi-artwork
https://github.com/ayopa/xi-activity

5 Create an activity. Something like

volo create helloworld ayopa/xi-activity
volo add xi-graphics

Try to install the web app in chrome. There is great documentation about
chrome web apps here:

http://developer.chrome.com/trunk/apps/about_apps.html

Note that the xi libraries has been tested only on b2g (firefox) so far,
you might need small modifications to make them work. Please submit these
changes as pull requests.

6 Give a try to the two examples activities we have

https://github.com/ayopa/omega-examples


Once that's working you should be all setup. And you can discuss with
Manuel the next development steps.

Feel free to ask for help on the mailing list for any problem you run into.
I wrote the above list without testing it, so it might not work out of the
box... If you post any corrections here, it's going to be useful to
everyone.

I don't know what that list is about exactly but anything about development
should definitely stay here on sugar-devel.
