Agena is an easy-to-learn procedural programming language suited for everyday usage. It has been implemented as an interpreter and can be used in scientific, educational, linguistic, and many other applications. Its syntax looks like very simplified Algol 68 with elements taken from Lua and SQL.

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.

Manual installation

Available both as ZIP and WarpIN package:

  • download the ZIP package to temporary directory and unpack it to destination folder;
  • the WarpIN package is self-installing.

See below for download link(s).

You can install the prerequisites with rpm running the following string in a command line:

yum install libc libcx libgcc1 libssp libstdc++6 libstdc++ libsupc++6 libsupc++ libgcc-fwd readline ncurses expat sqlite

Following ones are the download links for manual installation:

Agena v. 7.3.9 (13/4/2026, Alexander Walz) Readme/What's new
agena >> `The Power of Procedural Programming` 7.3.9 Antares, April 13, 2026 - With sequences and registers, read access has become 1 % faster. - When given, the `adaptive` option to `calc.savgol` was not correctly recognised. This has been fixed. - `dblhash.getitem` could produce garbage or even crash Agena when given a non-integer value. This has been fixed. - The logic how `registry.ref` and `registry.unref` create reference IDs has been updated to the Lua 5.5.1 standard. - If the last argument to the `os.time` is `true` then it will return the time as one result including milliseconds in the fractional part. - On 64-bit platforms `integral` and `fractional` have been tweaked a bit. - `os.xgetbv` now returns `null` instead of `undefined` if the CPU does not support extended states or the operating system has not explicitly enabled the use of XGETBV. It also returns `null` when run on non-Intel/AMD CPUs or Windows Vista and earlier, or when passed an optional argument other than zero. On modern Mac OS X the function should now return a viable result instead of `null`. The function no longer crashes on x64 Linux. - `astro.locate` could not find a lot of places. This has been fixed. - This release has been Valgrind-checked on x64 Linux to ensure there are no internal errors or memory leaks.

Agena v. 4.12.5 (20/5/2025, Alexander Walz) Readme/What's new
4.12.5 Merryville, May 20, 2025 - In the past, the bitshift operators <<< (left shift), >>> (right shift), <<<< (left rotation) and >>>> (right rotation) had different behaviour across platforms when a number at or beyond the +/-2^32 threshold has been processed. This has been changed and the results in these situations are now the same. Likewise, `bytes.numto32` is now returning the same results on all platforms when casting a value at or beyond the +/-2^32 border. This also benefits various functions in the `hashes` package as their returns are now the same across platforms, as well. To check the new underflow or overflow behaviour, use `math.wrap`. - New function `math.fmod` works and returns the same result as the binary `symmod` operator. It has just been added to facilitate porting C code to Agena. - The results of `hashes.mix`, `hashes.crc32`, `hashes.crc8`, `hashes.reflect`, `hashes.parity`, `hashes.fibmod`, `hashes.interweave`, `hashes.jinteger` may now be different with out-of-range input, that is with arguments at or beyond the 2^32 threshold, depending on your platform.
