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. 6.5.3 (16/12/2025, Alexander Walz) Readme/What's new
agena >> `The Power of Procedural Programming` 6.5.3 Catahoula, December 16, 2025 - New `strings.iscomplex` checks whether one or more strings represent complex numbers and that have the imaginary unit `I` at their end. > strings.iscomplex('1+1*I', '1+I'): true > strings.iscomplex('1+1*I', '1'): false - `strings.isnumeric` which checks for real numbers, can now process multiple strings. - New `strings.isnumber` checks whether one or more strings all represent real or complex numbers: > strings.isnumber('1+1*I', '1'): true - `utils.readxml` by default now interfaces to `xml.readxml` which is more versatile and faster. You can pass the 'classic' option if you want the function to behave the old way, that is calling slower `utils.decodexml` to parse the XML file which may fail sometimes with elaborate tag attributes. - Many functions in the `ints`, `long` and `mapm` packages that process one or more values returned `true` when given no argument at all. In this case, the functions now issue an error.

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.
