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. 6.7.8 (12/2/2026, Alexander Walz) Readme/What's new
agena >> `The Power of Procedural Programming` 6.7.8 Isfahan, February 12, 2026 - New `math.isexceptional` returns `true` if its number argument is +0, -0, +infinity, -infinity or `undefined`. With a complex number returns `true` if the real or the imaginary part is +0, -0, +infinity, -infinity or `undefined`. - To comply with the behaviour in Maple, `math.dirac` now by default returns `undefined` when given zero as an argument, and no longer issues `infinity` in this case. You can force the function to return `infinity` by passing the new `classic=true` option: > math.dirac(0): undefined > math.dirac(0, classic = true): infinity - `heaviside` has been ported to C and has become 24 percent faster. - `math.tohex` now by default returns the hexadecimal representation of a number with a preceding `0x` and with lowercase letters. You can revert to the old behaviour by passing the option `true` as a second argument. Example: > math.tohex(1001), math.tohex(1001, true): 0x03e9 03E9 - `bytes.numwords` now also accepts the second argument `true` and if given, returns the upper and lower bytes as hexadecimal strings. Example: > bytes.numwords(1/3, true): 0x3fd55555 0x55555555 -2 - `bytes.divmod32`, `bytes.getwords`, `bytes.ieee`, `bytes.leadzeros`, `bytes.nextbit`, `bytes.numwords`, `bytes.setdouble`, `bytes.trailzeros`, `descend`, `linalg.identity`, `linalg.inverse`, `linalg.totable`, `linalg.unitvector`, `linalg.vzero`, `linalg.zeros`, `minizip.write`, `net.accept`, `net.bind`, `net.connect`, `net.listen`, `net.open`, `recurse`, `satisfy`, `stats.card`, `stats.meanqmdev`, `stats.meanvar` have been protected against stack corruption. - Some source code cleaning. They now also compile again with DJGPP for DOS. - This release has been Valgrind-checked on x86 and 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.
