I just downloaded 2018, double-clicked the .img, started the installer,
which installed
* gnat
* spark
* gps

all in /Users/xxx/opt/GNAT/2018/bin


set path as instructed in last install screen


start gps (terminal or Finder)
I don't think you get an icon in /Applications

but do you need one?

It is getting out of support - I think. I don't think they plan on go 
beyond intel 64bit.
