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

Following ones are the download links for manual installation:

Agena v. 4.6.5 (19/12/2024, Alexander Walz)	Readme/What's new	4.6.5 Forsyth, December 19, 2024 - New `package.getcfuncs` returns a sorted list of all the C functions in a standard library. > package.getcfuncs('package'): [getcfuncs, loadclib, packages] > package.getcfuncs(): # baselib C functions [addtometatable, allotted, alternate, append, approx, arccosh, arccoth, ...] - When trying to load a non-existing library, `readlib` and thus the `import` statement could potentially crash. This has been fixed.

Agena v. 3.16.1 (update2, 17/5/2024, Alexander Walz)	Readme/What's new	AGENA LIBRARY (CUMULATIVE) UPDATE Improvements ------------ 3.16.1 Library Update 2 Anson, May 17, 2024 - The precision of the factorial function fact left much to be desired with higher order integral arguments n, especially with n > 101. This has been fixed. - Removed non-existing territories from data/langreg.csv. Installation ------------ This update can be used on all operating systems. You may need administrator rights to install this update. Prerequisite ------------ Please have at least Agena 3.16.1 installed. Solaris, UNIX, and Mac ---------------------- In Solaris, OpenSolaris, Linux, and Mac, the Agena installation can be found in /usr/agena. (This folder includes at least the following subdirectories: doc, lib, schemes, and share). Please cd into this Agena main directory, i.e. into /usr/agena. Proceed with step `Unpack`. Windows ------- In Windows, your Agena installation might usually reside in - <drive letter>:\Programs\Agena, or - <drive letter>:\Program Files\Agena, or - <drive letter>:\Program Files (x86)\Agena. Please cd into this Agena subdirectory. Its contents is as follows: 13.03.2022 21:22 <DIR> . 13.03.2022 21:22 <DIR> .. 13.03.2022 21:22 <DIR> bin 13.03.2022 21:22 <DIR> doc 13.03.2022 21:22 <DIR> lib 13.03.2022 21:22 <DIR> share 13.03.2022 21:22 61.346 uninstall.exe Proceed with step `Unpack`. DOS --- In DOS, locate the Agena directory that includes the licence and change.log files, and cd into this directory. Please proceed with step `Unpack`. Unpack ------ Copy this ZIP archive to your main Agena folder (see above) you just cd'ed into. Please copy the lib/.agn files in the lib folder of this ZIP archive to the lib folder of your Agena installation, overwriting the original files. If present, copy the updated documentation in the doc directory of this ZIP archive to the doc folder of your Agena installation, overwriting the original files. If present, please also copy scheme(s) files included in this update to the schemes folder. Or just for short: in a shell, just issue the following statement after cd'ing: unzip -o update* Really Updated ? ---------------- To check whether the update has been successfully installed: The start-up message should now include the word `Update`, e.g.: AGENA >> a.b.c Update n. (C) 2006-20xy http://agena.sourceforge.net. That's it.

Agena v. 3.16.1 (11/5/2024, Alexander Walz)	Readme/What's new	3.16.1 Anson, May 11, 2024 - In the past, when a number was suffixed by the letter 'd', the number was multiplied by 12 (dozen notation). Now the number is assumed to represent degrees and is automatically converted to radians through multiplication by Pi/180. > 90d: 1.5707963267949 Likewise, if a number is suffixed by the letter 'r', it is assumed to be in radians and automatically converted to degrees through multiplication by 180/Pi: > 1.5707963267949r: 90 The suffix 'D' still represents dozens, so for example: > 10D: 120 - New `math.todegrees` is the complement to `math.toradians` and converts radians to degrees: > math.todegrees(Pi/2): 90 - `math.todecimal` did not work well - or unexpectedly - with negative components. This has been fixed by converting all values to positive while preserving the sign in the result. > math.todecimal(-1, 30, 45): -1.5125 > math.todecimal(-1, 30, -45): -1.5125 - Likewise, `math.toradians` did not work well with negative optional arguments. This has been fixed the same way as for `math.todecimal`. - `math.dd` was 16 times slower than equivalent `math.todec`, because the former used string parsing and the latter a precise numeric approach. So from now on, `math.dd` uses the same code as `math.todec`, the latter which has also now been deprecated. An alias has been provided to ensure backward-compatibility. - `math.splitdms` has been tuned by eight times, now using arithmetics instead of string processing.
