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).

Following is a list of prerequisites that you have to manually install in order to have the program working:

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 sqlite

Following ones are the download links for manual installation:

Agena v. 6.3.6 (2/11/2025, Alexander Walz)	Readme/What's new	agena >> `The Power of Procedural Programming` 6.3.6 Lookout Mountain, November 02, 2025 - New `mapm.xgcd` and `mapm.xlcm` compute the Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple of two arbitary-precision numbers. - New `mapm.xmulmod` and `mapm.xpowmod` conduct modular multiplication (ab % m) and exponentiation (a^b % m), respectively. - New `mapm.xinvmod` calculates the modular multiplicative inverse of 'a' modulo 'm'. - The `mapm` modulo operation (`%`, `mapm.xmod`) has become 25 percent faster. - `mapm` package: When raising a number to an integral power with the `*` or `^` operators or `mapm.xipow`, `mapm.xpow`, you no longer have to manually adjust the precision with `mapm.xdigits` to get correct results. - Likewise, the bitwise operators `&&`, `\|\|`, `^^` now internally auto-adapt to the required precision to avoid round-off errors with very large numbers. Same with `mapm.xterm`, `mapm.xexp2`, `mapm.xexp10` and complex number exponentiation. - `numtheory.powmod` with negative integral exponents (second argument) has been tuned a bit. - When given more than two arguments, `numtheory.gcd` and `numtheory.lcm` left memory leaks. This has been fixed.

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.
