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

Following ones are the download links for manual installation:

Agena v. 5.5.10 (11/9/2025, Alexander Walz) Readme/What's new
5.5.10 Teneca, September 11, 2025 - `os.cpuinfo` can now detect many more instruction sets. - `os.cpuid`, `os.isintel`, `os.isamd` now work on OS/2 and Mac OS X. `os.cpuinfo` will also identify supported instruction sets with the 'support' field on these two operating systems. - New `os.iscyrix` detects CPUs manufactured by Cyrix. - New `os.isnexgen` detects CPUs manufactured by NexGen. - New `os.isnsc` detects CPUs manufactured by National Semiconductor. - New `os.isvia` detects CPUs manufactured by VIA Technologies. - `os.cachelinesize` did not work on most non-Windows platforms. This has been fixed. - The binary OS/2 edition has been compiled with GCC 9.2.0 instead of 8.3.0.

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.
