hmm, below reply ended up unintentionally as mail to the OP.
It was intended for c.l.a


> If my experience is typical, it's no wonder Ada isn't popular. I've downloaded the installer for GNAT 2018 for MacOS, since it's the only one containing Gnat Studio.


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.
