i have downloaded gnat gpl edition from libre.adacore.com

i have installed gnat. it is located /usr/local/gnat/

i have created a file called hello.adb, found in ADA95 textbook,

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Hello is
begin
   Put_Line ("Hello World");
end Hello;

i have cd into /usr/local/gnat/bin
typed:     gnat

and got this

All commands except chop, krunch and preprocess accept project file switches -vPx, -Pprj and -Xnam=val

i then cd back into my home dir :   cd ~ 
where the hello.adb file is located

i entered: gnat compile hello.adb 

i got back:

       gcc -c hello.adb

in the directory i see:

   hello.adb
   hello.ali
   hello.c.save
   hello.o

what do i need to do to run the program ... and compile if i have done something wrong?
